Its so hard as a stay at home mom, to really find time for yourself, especially when your kids are little. But this past March, I made the decision that I needed to do something for me. Most people dont know this, because its still something that I have a hard time accepting but after Ava was born and my Dad died, I suffered from post partum depression. It was awful and there are still days where my anxiety and my feelings of not being a good enough mom plague me. But in March, I decided to take control of not only my emotional well being, but my physical well being and started working out. I could find 25 mins for myself and to be honest, I needed to. After my first workout, I thought I was going to throw up. I worked hard and my body was NOT used to it. But after a few weeks, I felt amazing! I was happier, I had more energy and on the bad days, I used that energy to go harder and push myself more. After 60 days, forget it. I felt like a million bucks and I was so proud. I am now doing a different workout program and pushing myself every day because its the me time that I need so badly for my mental wellness. Each and every day, I make the choice to put my health and my well being at the top of my list. A wise friend once told me ages ago, that if I dont take care of me, what good will will I be to those two beautiful babies I have? And its the truth! You ARE worth the time and you ARE worth the investment :)
