GET IN GEAR!!!!!!!!

Don’t get me wrong…..I love my fiance more than life itself and totally missed him while he was on the road all spring, but man when he comes home he screws me up completely!  Its been almost 2 weeks that he is home and I just can’t get back into a routine to save my life.  My routine was alway this:  Get home from work, change into workout clothes, get the kids off the bus, get them a snack and settle them to do homework, workout while they are doing their thing, cook dinner, hang out or go to childs ballgame.  With him home, he just throws a monkey wrench into it.  Yes part of it is that I don’t get to spend time with him but for maybe 10 days from January to May and I have missed him…..but the other part is just shear laziness.  I have got to get my butt in gear again.

I already told him this morning that as soon as I get through the door I am working out so he needs to take the kids outside and play for an hour or whatever, but I need that time for me plain and simple and that if he does not see me working out that he has to yell at me.

Food and water have been very good so far this week.  I went over in my calories yesterday though by 20. LOL  Considering I had a piece of leftover birthday cake at home that was good.  AND my biggest bravo of the day was we had a retirement party at work for one of the men I work with and they had this HUGE cake there and I did not have a piece knowing that I wanted a piece of cake at home.  I told myself I was not having 2 pieces of cake, only one so which one would it be.  HOORAY ME!

    I find this is kind of the hardest part of this…

    Putting yourself first…

    I dont have children and I STILL struggle with takinga an hour for myself away from friends and family, so I imagine its more difficult for a parent…

    But, honestly, if you are to succeed, you MUST put yourself first for a while…In the end, the trade off will be worth it. You will be a better wife and mother, I think, because you will be fit and happy…

    Good luck on finding your balance!
