Juggling Act

SICK SICK SICK!  That is how I have felt these last two weeks, with no energy, body aches and congestion and it is not fun.  I am toooooo busy to be sick but my body had something else in mind.  Now I finally feel that I am on the mend so I can go back to focusing on living and am even planning to go for a 5 mile run today!

But I have realized one very simple thing while being sick... Life is hectic!  Everyday seems like a new challenge and new adventure as a crazy, busy family of 4.  There so many times that I feel like my life is a juggling act with sooo many important aspects that need my undivided attention which is so much more difficult when I am not feeling 100%:

• working full time and trying to move forward in my career
• being a good mother to my 2 boys
• being a loving wife to my husband
• Everything ELSE!
   

It is really hard to find time for myself which is equally important as everything I mentioned above. If I am not happy with myself, how can I possibly make those around me happy!?!?  I would like to take the time make a vow in this blog post...

I vow to always find time to take care of myself!  At this point in 2013 my goal is to maintain the weight loss and toning I've been able to accomplish with my body,  I vow to continue to run and continue to work out as much as possible.

I've had a few rough weeks that have been very, very hard for me to find that time. No matter what you do in your life we all experience those days that you just have TOO many things to juggle.  But please try to make a similar vow to yourself like I have done.  If you too gone a couple of days/weeks/months without exercising or doing something to make yourself feel better STOP and DO IT.  The end result can only be that you will feel much better about yourself.

Thank you friends and family, these blog posts motivate me in my own personal life more than you know..
