Just one month ago I began this blog, and as you can see it hasn't been a priority. With only three posts and two recipes I haven't had a very active start...at least not online. The last 30 days I've been a physical, mental, and emotional work in progress. This last month was filled with play dates, field trips, exercising, healthy eating, family time, vacation, birthday celebrations, stress, anxiety, fear melt-downs and overwhelment. Summers are always busy, and although they are a "break" from my full time job they always seem more hectic and tiring than the rest of the year. This one even more so with Nick working out of town, my 2nd/summer job being extra challenging this year, keeping up with an almost 2 year old, looking for a house and trying to not go crazy iot eat a whole box of donuts n the meantime. I had to take a step back from the hustle and bustle, reevaluate what's most important to me and my family and try to find a healthy balance.
It's a work in progress but I know family must come first, and in order to be the best mom and wife I must take care if myself . While I've had 2 or more jobs for as long as I can remember the reasons for having them no longer outweigh the trees for "free" time. My family needs ME and I need them more than we need the extra money. So, step one of finding a healthy balance is speeding myself less thin, taking on less "extra" work, and enjoying every minute of every day. Tripp will only be little once!
More to come as I continue this journey of health, fitness and happiness ...
