Besides having a newborn and another child to deal with things have been pretty busy around here. My step-sister recently got married and so we have been out-of-town for one wedding event or another recently. I ate some really awesome cake at her reception (just one small piece, although I probably would have had more if I wasn't chasing Carver around the room and trying to console sleepy Emma) and then came home to an actual compliment on my body from my husband! I don't get those often!
I have been working very hard to find the time to get quick but intense workouts into most days and eating healthy when everyone else isn't so that I can build my body back up to where it was several months before getting pregnant. We all know it's not easy to do with work, playdates, cooking, cleaning (and that list could go on and on and on), so it's nice to get complimented on the dedication and hard work once in a while.
But even if I never heard another nice comment again, I would still do what I do. It's my time for me. It's my time to do something good for me, to take care of me. If we sacrifice our own wellbeing for too long, it will eventually affect other aspects of our lives in a negative way. We don't want that, now do we?
Spend time being good to your body today. It deserves nourishment and care just like the children do!
