Your burnt out, tired… scratch that EXHUSTED! You just
worked all week, made lunches, cleaned the house, paid the bills, are currently
reading this instead of putting away your laundry and somewhere in the back of
your mind there is a little voice wondering how in the hell are you going to
find time to eat healthy and work out on top of what you are already
responsible for. Where the hell are you going to find your “me” time?! Wouldn’t
it be nice to have it all… live the dream where you accomplish all your
health/fitness/personal goals and still have a clean house, maintain your
family and have a full time job… maybe you go to school too… Seems impossible doesn’t
it? Even writing this right now has me wondering if it’s even possible, should
I wake up and come back to reality? Give up all hope? Or I could be up for a
wicked challenge and tackle each area of my life in baby steps and become a
master at making life my bitch…
Easier said than done right? Let’s face it like many of you
looking for that reality I am exactly the same way. I am a mom of a lovely
spirited 8 year old and I also have one on the way that will be making an appearance
somewhere around Labor Day (ha… is there a pun here). I also have a full time
job, a part time job, go to night school 2 days a week (with seriously like 12
hours of homework during the week), take my daughter to all her sporting events
(she does baseball and cheer), somehow manage to get dinner on the table before
8pm and am currently staring at a basket of clean laundry and dirty floors that
have been neglected for like 2 weeks… oh… and somehow I manage to fit blogging
in my schedule. Whew… you stressed out yet?
With a schedule like that where the hell am I going to find
time to maintain a healthy lifestyle? Being overweight to begin with when I got
pregnant with my 2nd and having a restricted amount of weight I can
gain during this pregnancy has me pondering where I’m going to fit this new
need into my already extremely busy life. However when I look at myself in the
mirror and regardless of being pregnant and having an “excuse” I can’t help but
shudder and feel guilt looking at my cottage cheesy ass cheeks and the extra
layer of fat over my belly. I get told constantly that I should be easier on
myself and not judge my body… but hello, I’m a woman I’m not dead and when I don’t
feel good about myself and it’s effecting my life… including my sex life then
changes need to be made no matter the sacrifice.
In this little blog of mine you are going to find my ups and
downs… successes and failures at not only living but maintaining a healthy
lifestyle. You are in the same boat as me so I want you to know that what you
see here will not just be an amazing success story, it’s going to be a raw real
life struggle. There will be bad words and frustration… but there will also be
good times where I make it over tiny little bumps in the road that will be
celebrated like the 4th of July.
I also want you to know that although I cannot solve your
problems I can give you advice and insight as to how I overcome my challenges. You
have got to want it as bad as I do to be willing to make a change because trust
me this is not going to be easy for me or for you. I want to be your motivator
because girl we are in this together you can cry on my shoulder as long as you
promise to let me cry on yours.
My goals for this blog or should I say my “why’s” are:
1. I want to motivate you to live a
healthy life style and give you ideas on how to do so with a busy schedule.
2. To use this blog as my own self
motivator, to live a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family.
3. To share useful tips and
information to you to use as tools in your own journey
4. To get my body back. I was a
fitness competitor in June of 2014 and was in the best shape of my life!! I
gained over 30 pounds of lost weight back in a year and a half and now I’m
pregnant… So to motivate me… I will plan on competing again in the Summer of
2017.
So what do you say? Are you with me? Are you ready to embark
on this crazy journey?? Let’s make life our bitch! Step one is to subscribe so
you don’t miss any of my posts so click here and let’s get this party started!
