New Year, New Month, New Week, New Day and New President! Looks like the time for changes. I can't control some things but I can control my attitude, my exercise and my eating. This month I'll turn 39 and quickly approaching the next decade of my life....Oh Boy!! The best is yet to come. That is why they always put dessert last on the menu, right! As my children get older and more independent I have more time and energy for myself and my interests. The choices I make with this time will shape (literally!) me. This is the time to take care of myself and try to focus on being healthy. This does not mean this is my New Years Resolution, as those "promises" fade and disappear before the months end. This "Healthy living" is something I want to incorporate with my daily routines and habits. This only proves that the older I get the more I notice how little time I have had to truly take care of myself. I have been so pre-occupied with the kids, housework, school work, my job and schedules, I literally lost track of taking care of me. I am sure many can relate to this. We promise ourselves we will stop at the YMCA after work to exercise for an hour. We get all pumped up, thinking this is the week I will start improving my health. Until the phone rings and it is the kids stating they need a ride somewhere, or the game got rescheduled for tonight or will you please take me to my friend’s house…. Sound familiar??? So as the wonderful loving mom’s we are; I say sure! I will be right home.
Darn, I guess I will stop at the YMCA tomorrow….
This is where my down fall is, I never put my appointments or schedules on the calendar. Super Mom can do it all for everyone else but forgets to make that time for herself! Not that I am blaming anyone for my lack of fitness! That defiantly is my responsibility, so with the New Changes of the year, I thought this would be a perfect time for making some changes in my personal life too. Scheduling time for ME is the first! Time for the exercise I have been pushing aside because if I continue at this rate, by my 40th birthday I will be no longer have a defined shape, unless we can count Round as my figure…. LOL
That saying " Live Life to the Fullest" does not mean your waste line. So let's make some time for ourselfes so we feel good. You know what they say; when mom is upset, no one is happy! Here's to a healthy New year!
