I think the chaos of last week caught up with me. My husband was out of town for business and I was on 24/7 Mommy duty. If you remember, I also switched up my gym schedule and met with my personal trainer last week. My body and my patience was pushed to the max. I consoled myself this weekend by digging into a bag of white chocolate candy corn m&m's. These are pure delicious evil and I'm loving it! My eat healthy diet is not. Luckily I've been working out so hard lately that the scale and my muscle tone isn't suffering too much.
My workout today was rough. I'm having one of those days where I just want to snuggle up and take a nap. These are the moments when I remind myself why I workout and eat healthy. I want to be the Mom that chases her little one around the playground (not the one who is too overweight to do much more than sit on the bench and watch). I want to be the Mom that cooks healthy home cooked meals that we eat together at the table (not the Mom that relies on fast food and frozen dinners). I want to be the Mom that looks in the mirror and likes the body I see (not the Mom that is always sucking in, complaining about the way I look, or my weight). I want my son to look at me and see that I love myself. I also want him to look at me when I'm in my 80's or hopefully 90's and still able to get around on my own because I made healthy choices. I want to be there to see him become a husband or father some day (hopefully not until he's at least 30). God may choose to take me from this world some day, but it won't be from a heart attack because I ate poorly and never worked out or lung cancer because I chose to smoke instead of hitting the gym. I'm proud of the person I am. I'm proud of the wife I can be. I'm proud of the Mother my son sees every morning when I open to door to his room and tell him good morning or snuggle with him before bed.
This is my life. This is the life my son sees me living every day. I'm setting the best example I can. This Mommy is no quitter!
