In reality, it seems like you must die to yourself in order to maintain your children in a healthy lifestyle and maintain the fire in your marriage. I, for once, refuse to believe you have to give up everything you ever wanted just because you reached big milestones in your life. These milestones, in my opinion, are supposed to enhance your life not dim it. For example, if you have a stylish fashion why does it have to change just because your schedule got a little hectic. This is where my fashion interest comes into play. I do not want to be a mom that dresses like I am in denial nor a mom that just let herself go because there is no time! I am determined to find a way to make it work.
What about me-time? What do you mean there is no me-time? You mean the only alone time is when I get a bathroom break?What about that toddler that somehow follows you to the toilet!!!! This is when psychological therapies comes into effect. As a psychotherapist, I understand how important mental health is. And yes moms deserve this time as well! As a mom, I feel like I am the ONLY one available to cater to my family's needs...well guess what.....I need to cater to myself as well. So, taking time to reflect and recharge is important to me and I must find time to do so!
Having a baby is a wonderful thing and by far the best thing I have ever done! However, my body went to distress and it takes commitment and work to get back into some sort of shape! Health and fitness is a new phenomenon I want to try! Why? Because I want to look fab! NOT REALLY! Although it helps, lol! Actually, I want to run after my daughter and play with her without feeling like I am loosing my lungs! I need the energy to juggle everything in life. I want to raise active children that play in the playground and not inside the TV! Although children's TV Shows are a life saver, I do want to interact and play with my kids! I saw a quote on twitter that said " I am not loosing weight, I am getting rid of it. I have no intention of finding it again" (@Bfit_Bhealthy). That's exactly what I want to do. My goal is to eat healthier and exercise in an affordable and easy way!
Is it possible to do this? Let's see because I am about to find out.....
Greatest Love of All |
Me and my daughter |
