I am a Notoriously Bad Blogger

In the past it was true, I have been a notoriously bad blogger, but the past is behind me. I making improvements in all aspects of my life so maybe, just maybe, this is my chance to be a better blogger. Be patient with me.

My journey to better health and wellness took off a while ago, and as tempting as it might be to give you a long back story, I am not going to do that. Let's face it, you don't care, and I don't have the energy to fill you in. Basically it boils down to this; I needed to make changes, and dove in head first. I have not looked back since; I am moving forward instead.

But as we all know some of us know this all too well there are many struggles that come in the aspects of health and wellness. Today I am struggling with balance. Trying to find the time to work, workout, spend time with my family and friends, and house work (but mostly the laundry in that category).

In the name of BALANCE: (you can click on anything I have attached a link to to gather more information)

Today I tried something different. Because my schedule was so scrambled, with absolutely no time to work out while either 1. school was in session or 2. someone was home to watch the children, I went to the Christian Family Centre to workout. I had a free pass and then paid $4 for 2 hours of babysitting for my 4 year old. I spent my first 15 minutes using the WAVE technology. It was wonderful and helped with some of the shoulder soreness I was experiencing from swimming last night. I then did 20 min of light cardio on the TRUE machine. The TRUE is comparable to the EFX at the Fitness Connection. My workout was wonderful, but the entire time I worried about the small boy I left in the day care. He looked at me and almost cried, and then said, "Do I have to?" I told him if he didn't like it, he wouldn't have to come back, but that he need to give it a shot. So after 35 minutes, no weights today, I went to pick him up. He was playing Wii Boxing having the time of his life. Of course he was. I worried for nothing.

The balancing act continues, it always does. I do feel as though I conquered it, for at least today I am the master of my domain. Who knows what struggle tomorrow brings, but as long as I don't give up and keep working hard I know I will end up in the right place.

How do you balance it all? Where are your short comings?

Inside all of us is HOPE.
