How are your resolutions going?

Well, here we are, 10 days into the new year. How are your resolutions going?

I resolved long ago not to tie resolutions to the new year. To me, if something was worth doing, it was worth doing right now and not waiting for the new year. I try to do things that way. However, this year I decided that I would start working out 3 times a week and that I would wait until after the Christmas rush to begin.

Well, I bought a nifty home gym. I tore apart half my old office to fit it in there with the stationary bike. I researched workout plans. I came up with a workout plan. I put the plan in a spreadsheet. I'm all ready.

I have yet to work out...

I just can't seem to muster the energy after working all day to tell my kids I have to stop playing with them so that I can go into the "gym" and work out. I'm tired. I get up early and stay up late trying to cram all the other good things into my life. My youngest still likes to get up several times in the night to eat, and while I don't have to feed her, I am a light sleeper and wake up anyway. I just can't figure out how people do this.

Any suggestions? I really want to be in good shape for my kids, mostly. We started our second round of children later in life, and I want to be able to do things with them all throughout their childhoods. I don't want to be the "old, broken dad" who could never do anything too exciting. I just really need to figure out how to work all this in.
