I am trying to find an hour. It’s harder than you think.
I am hunting under the couch – where I am often collapsed, tapping at my laptop or with my eyes glued to the television – searching for the 45 minutes a day I need to reclaim my sanity.
And I just can’t find it. Between my two small children, my job, my partner and the occasional rushed drink with people who were my friends in a quieter age, there isn’t TIME.
More on Holly’s day: “A comprehensive list of the things I did before 9am.”
The time I’m looking for is the time to exercise.
Deep down, I know where that time is. Jodi Meares has got it. Because while I’m struggling to find a lousy 45 minutes, Jodhi is exercising for at least four hours a day. Every day.
And it shows. Jodhi Meares is the impossibly slender and effortlessly glamorous founder of The Upside, a sportswear brand that is so fabulous that there’s no way I would ever dare sweat into their exquisite yoga pants.
Because, in all seriousness, there ain’t no way you put a spin-class crotch anywhere near this:
Jodhi revealed how she makes time in her day for exercise in a story with Harper’s Bazaar earlier this year entitled ’24 hours with Jodhi Meares’.
And reading it, I can see exactly where I’m going wrong.
