- I need to get my priorities figured out and in order.
- Need to stop spending money foolishly
- Need to get on a budget (that might be in line with bullet #2) and follow it
- Need to delegate chores
- Need to remember, and fully, FOLLOW THROUGH on things I tell my children
- Drive thrus and pizza delivery need to STOP!!! (again, see #2)
- Start showing my children that it can be fun to eat right and exercise (which I've started doing... more on that later).
- Stop being so hard on myself for everything that I feel is a "failure"
- Pray more. I seem to have put God on the back-burner
With that all being said, tonight I went to do my Slim in 6 "Ramp It Up" video and my three little ones (ages 7 and 5 y/o twins) said they wanted to do it with me. So we all got dressed to work out, got our water and headed downstairs to start working out. Before the video even started Nick (my boy twin) was sitting in the chair because he was "too tired". Ali (my 7 year old) was eager to start and Amelia (my girl twin) was standing there, kinda doing her own thing. Once we started it was so funny to see the girls. Their arms were being thrown all over the place and they looked like monkeys. Amelia gave up after a while and decided to go play with toys but Ali kept going with me. We gave up after about 25 minutes because that is all that I could handle, but it was a lot of fun. Not only was I able to burn off some of my frustration, take a step towards my fitness goal and hang out with my kids, but they are now asking me about what they can do to stay healthy and get this... prevent a heart attack! (they heard about it in a movie, I never brought it up to them).
Tomorrow I am going to skip my morning ritual of breakfast at McDonalds and drink my Shakeology shake and get on the right path for nutrition. Hopefully I will have enough energy in the morning to work out before going into work!!
More to come....
