I definitely want to look into doing pilates when the weather gets bad or when I get too unbalanced to enjoy bicycling for fun. I generally prefer incorporating exercise into daily life, such as using a rotary mower instead of a power mower, people-powered transportation rather than gasoline powered transportation, etc. to going to the gym to work out, but now that I'm going to be an older mother I really do want to start taking better care of my body.
When my teens were toddlers and preschoolers, most of my mommy friends were in their forties and I remember how they would mostly sit and talk at the park while I could easily shift gears from talking to running around and playing with the kids. I also loved getting down on my hands and knees, putting both toddler/preschoolers on my back, and playing horsey. I roughoused with my boy until he was 12 or 13.
Many times when I was younger, I said that I absolutely wanted to be "done" having kids by the time I was 35. My main reason was that I didn't think I would be physically up to the kind of active play I enjoyed with my kids in my 20s.
Now I understand that it doesn't have to be that way and if we take care of our bodies, age doesn't have to mean less activity. I actually enjoy exercise much more now than I did when I was younger. I'm willing to work on keeping my body in shape so that I can enjoy playing horsey at 46, swinging on the swings at 50, and maybe hiking the Appalachian Trail or going on a cross-country bicycle trip with both daughters and some grandkids at 60.
I'd love to start exercising again now that Mike's blood sugar is under control, but I'm too tired in the mornings (gagging on my toothpaste just wipes me out. 
I may try later. 
I feel the same with the running (not doing the pilates, though planning on doing yoga.).
