I just found you through Miss Madison...Hello there! I just found you through Miss Madison's Charmed Life and felt I couldn't come here and just read your post without saying something. Motherhood, fitness, food, etc. is all so much more complicated than we all really care for it to be right? In short...you can do it. And maybe not daily, but you'll get there. I have 3 kiddos, 6.5, 4.5, and almost 3. Sometime after each of them were born, I was diagnosed or relapsed with a rare kidney disease. Treatment was prednisone. It makes you gain weight, it makes your face puffy like a chipmunk. There were days I couldn't look in the mirror. It was a very difficult time for me, my marriage, etc. Now in good health, although I loved the person I was before kids...I realized I could and wanted to become a better version of who I was then. I saw your post below about working out on your treadmill. I encourage you to do it again, every day. I remember at one point I started out jogging 1 minute, walking 4 minutes...for 5 days. The next week jogging 1 minute, walking 3 minutes, etc....5 days. A little something everyday....you will see the difference and feel great. <br /><br />It's not about be good enough, being the best, having a bikini body, or understanding why we feel all the things we do from day to day or hour to hour, but sometimes it's just doing what we know works.<br /><br />I'm not perfect by any means...hello??? I snuck a little chocolate today :-), BUT I hope this somehow encourages your beautiful self to stick with it, day by day, and not beat yourself up over the slip ups. Don't let the times you feel like a failure take your goals away from you...you're worth it.Anneke at This, That and Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16790220680402429903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8910011039812857270.post-44371518855393322422012-02-28T20:32:56.051-06:002012-02-28T20:32:56.051-06:00That's pretty normal.

Maybe I should throw it away next time! I wish we were closer so we could work out together!Jonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00716610031465083788noreply@blogger.com
