Oh my goodness - where should my excuses begin? I've got a list of awesome mom excuses as to why I haven't blogged in months. Well, the end of the school year was nuts with parties, teacher gifts, end-of-year projects. Then we rolled right into summer with swim team, busy kids, carpools, camps, vacation bible school. And just to make things more insane, we adopted a baby lab for Reese's 10th birthday from a local shelter. I know - pushover - but more on this later.
No lie - every day for the past month I've said to myself, "I really need to blog today." Funny thing is, I really love to write on this blog. It's just amazing how easily things put pushed aside or put off - even things we enjoy - because as moms we're so busy that the days gets away from us. Hey, even this Optimom is big time guilty of this! This is exactly what happens so often with fitness and nutrition. We know that we need to work out - hey we even want to workout - but one thing (and one excuse) leads to another and it keeps getting put off day after day after day. It's just so easy to justify our decisions when we are such super-duper moms and there is so much on our plate.
I've been listening to myself and all my excuses as to why I've been too "busy" to blog. It's just ridiculous, but you get caught in the cycle, and those excuses sound pretty darn valid! It doesn't take more than 15-20 minutes to sit down and write an entry because I'm always thinking about moms and wellness. Just like it only takes you 15-20 minutes to get in an effective strength workout everyday. The key - break the cycle of excuses. That's exactly what I'm doing today! I've admitted that I have a problem :) and today I'm breaking that cycle of ridiculous excuses and rationalizations.
Look forward to talking with you soon!
