I Am Not Perfect!

I am not perfect, but I try daily to start over and get it right. There are days where I give my all and days where I don’t give enough, but the key is that I don’t give up. No many how many times I fall short, I get back up and keep trying to get it right. This life of health is necessary and serious because I want to live a long, healthy, and prosperous life. This can only be if I take care of me in the midst of taking care of everyone else (meaning my husband and two boys). They’re a handful, but I am learning that I must take care of me in order to take care of them. We are all moms, spouses, sisters, aunties, godmothers, and daughters to someone but it is necessary for us to be selfish at some point in the day and give to ourselves. For me, that is setting the clock to get up and do some form of physical exercise while everyone is sleeping. If I don’t do it then, it won’t get done. Most days I don’t want to roll out of bed (like today), but I get up and get it done.

Fit at 40

Fit at 40! That is my goal among other things in my life. 

Jokingly, I tell everyone I am trying to reach MILF (Google it) status! LOL! What I do know is that my life has to continue to change if I am to reach my goal. Currently, I have cut way down on sugar especially my love affair with chocolate. I love it, but it isn’t good for me. Not because of its deliciousness, but because I am allergic to it. I will break out in hives and give myself headaches for it, but since I’ve cut back on it I can feel the difference in my body. We all have our “guilty treats” and mine just happens to be the best thing on earth. I am pretty sure I am biased! LOL! I am doing cardio 6 days a week and strength training 3 of those days. One of my steps for being fit involves running. I am using the Couch to 10k app for improving my time.
