I am the only one that can take care of me and I have to make the choice. YES!!! As a wife and Mom, I take care of my family whether they currently live at home or not. There are things that I have to do to care for them. For those at my home, there is laundry, dishes, cleaning, cooking, homework, errands, grocery, taxi service etc. For those not at home, there are phone calls, text messages and emails. With all of this that has to happen on a daily basis and they are all busy doing their own thing, I MADE THE DECISION that there are 30 minutes EVERY DAY that Mom gets to work out. Yes, I chose to use my 30 minutes of Mom Time for a sweatfest!!!! It is key for my sanity. You can ask my husband anytime and he will tell you....."If she hasn't worked out in a few days, it shows". He's not talking physical but the emotions and short tempered and the fatigue set in. It was a really hard decision because I really thought I was being selfish. I was being a little arrogant. I finally came to the conclusion that if I didn't do it for me, I couldn't expect anyone else to do it for me. The sweet part- I'm using the time for me and my health but I'm also setting an example for my family as well. Nothing makes me more happy than to see Kaleb come in and use the bands or tell me to correct my form on push-ups or Burpee's. He knows it's Mom time and it makes me a better Mom and wife.
Yes, I am a Beachbody Coach and CEO of my NOW Is The Time company but that isn't what is important. What is important is helping other men and women realize that it is OK to take the time for themselves and to become healthy and happy on their fitness journey! If you realize that you are ready to take that step and start your own journey.....I would LOVE TO HELP YOU!!!!
Enjoy your Thanksgiving. Think about what you are truly thankful for. It's an awesome time of the year!!!
Blessings,
