Mom's and Dad's looking for support

I heard this today from #grantcardone on one of his podcasts, and it really resonated with me. In so many ways I give excuses. Mild ones, but excuses none the less. Usually centered around "it's not in the budget", and sometimes followed by "I don't have the time."
Yet, I can look at plenty of activities I do that are not producing what I need, to be successful in my fitness and nutrition, as well as create wealth, so that I can more easily afford to invest in myself more, but secure my family's future.
Its time for a change. I need to start producing more solutions and less excuses. Do you feel the same way?

The past few days I've gotten a good dose of what my wife goes through everyday. Take this kid here, take this kid there, pick up so & so's friend on the way, and on and on. Helps me appreciate more what she goes through.
At least I know my kids are engaged with activities which will help them to make better decisions as the get older and hopefully stay out of trouble.

Yep! No kidding! I was never so happy as when my oldest started driving, bought a car, and now taxi's herself around (and sometimes the other two!). LOL1 -
Hello! I'm a single mom with a 6 year old daughter, and I work about 50 hours a week. It's been a rough road. But there's always a rainbow on the other side0

Welcome to the other crazy house!0 -
Past few mornings have been busy. My dogs have been slightly annoying my neighbors lately, so I have been putting up a short fence to give my dogs a designated area, opposite of my neighbors. I have been wanting to do this anyway, because I hardly have any grass left. So working out, manual labor, and then my regular job I am pretty tired. In a good way of course. I even have my oldest and youngest helping me out. Summer fun!0

How are you doing this summer? Are you kids out of school yet? Probably are by now. My kids were done the last week of May, so we have been on the go no stop since then. With Soccer camp, gymnastics camp, cross country, track, running club. Yikes! I don';t know how we get it all done! Crazy. I have been off my game a little bit, but will be back on track soon!
What about you?0 -
Off my game and trying to get back on. So crazy busy with three teens all running different directions this summer! Between that and managing an acre of land, animals, garden, etc. - it's busy. Had some new blood work done b/c I think my thyroid may be tanking a bit again. Here's to a new day though.1

Just finished watching the American Ninja Warrior All Stars episode with the family. Man I love that show. We all do. Nothing like seeing these athletes do the unimaginable to re-inspire and get you pumped.
I'm gearing up to do another round of my most recent favorite program. 60 days of weights and functional training. I had great results this last time and I want to improve on that.
I love this feeling. Who would like to join me?0 -

Definitely exercise. I'm making progress with eating better but still falling behind when it comes to exercising. You'd think running after my one year old and four year old boys would do it, buy I just find that I'm too tired. The energy levels are getting better now that I'm eating better but I have a long way to go. My goal is to lose 50 pounds this year, and so far I'm on track, losing 4 pounds this last month. Just need to stay focused and motivated.1 -

I know what you mean. My girls are 14 & 12 now, and my son is 7. With us all in running club, it is even harder for me to keep up with them now. Nutrition is huge though. You need that fuel to keep you going. Many times I did not eat enough and felt totally wiped out. I'm glad to hear youare on track. If I can assist in any way, please let me know.0 -
Alright, it is official. I have registered for the NASM Certified Personal Trainer course/certification. I'm a little nervous. I'm gonna have to put myself back into school/homework mode.
This is a big step for me. I have been talking about this for the past year and a half, but kept finding reasons not to start. Well, I have no choice now. This is an investment in me, so I can continue to help even more people with their health and fitness, which I have been passionate about for the past 3 years or so.
Wish me luck!

Happy Hump Day! Got my workout in this morning. Was a little rough, but generally is after a holiday for me. Started reading my NASM CPT book. Official class start date for me is the 19th. So exciting!
What are you all up to?0
