Allowing life to get in the way
My motivation to stick to the gym comes and goes. It goes more than it comes, honestly. Damn life just gets in the way. By the time I can get there it's 8pm and really? I'd rather be fat and unhealthy than expend any more energy at that hour. I need to change that. My day is no more busy or crazy than most others but I don't do busy or crazy well and that is now my daily life. I think I walk with such confidence because not only did I birth these children from my body but I keep up with them. And I don't just mean physically. Emotionally I haven't snapped yet. When on the 3rd staight hour of, "Stop copying me, Dreeeeeew!" and "He took it and I was just going to play with it again!" I don't f'ing snap and snatch someone bald and toss their ass out on the porch, I am super proud of myself. So after 13 straight hours of this, I am proud at the end of every single day that we are all intact, fed, bathed, and in a warm bed. To then get myself to the gym seems an impossible feat at that point. I need to change my all-or-nothing mentality, however, and get myself to do what works on that particular day. UGH. Orrrrr, I could just replace my ever accurate digital scale with this:

There are many times that I have mentally referred to this placard that I used to carry with me, now it's in a drawer or file somewhere - I believe this whole heartedly.
ReplyDeleteThe placard reads:
A WOMAN IS OFTEN MEASURED
by the things she cannot control. She is measured by the way her body curves or doesn't curve. By where she is flat or straight or round. She is measured by 36-24-36 and inches and ages and number's, by all the outside things that don't ever add up to who she is on the inside. And so if a woman is
to be measured, let her be measured by the thing she can control, by who she is and who she is trying to become. Because as every woman knows, measurements are only statistics, and STATISTICS LIE.

I love the scale - can I get one in purple?
Snatch someone bald! I love it. You are fabulously honest and funny.
ReplyDeleteSome nights, I have trouble even opening a book, let alone getting to the gym. You're not alone.
