Work At Home Safari

After a couple of months of working-from-home, I diagnosed myself with the work-at-home blues.  My home office located in a spare bedroom in my house felt miles away.  In fact, it became one of the toughest commutes I ever had and all I had to do was walk across my house.  The isolation of being alone really took its toll on me.  So, what did I do?  I started exercising. 

In addition to helping me work off the baby weight, I met a bunch of good people whom have become friends. 

First of all, I joined a group called StrollerFit where you workout with your baby.  Not only did my son meet some kids his age, I got the benefit of working out and meeting other moms.  We shared advice, laughter, and spit-up stories while working off those muffin tops. 

Secondly, since I needed all the physical and emotional boost I could get, I also joined a gym.  I was going at the same time everyday and started running into the same people.  Pretty soon, we’d start looking for each other in class. 

And remember, exercise produces endorphins – and who couldn’t use more of those?
