It's easy thing to do..to fall into depression after such a blow to your life. All I would say is be aware that you need support..whether…

Yes..that's my intent! Good on you for doing it and getting up to exercise!

Wow..that's great! What time do you go to sleep at night?

Awesome advice! Thank you!!!!

It's like your intention is to love and care for them the best way you can..so you fool yourself in thinking that means only thinking of their needs and ignoring yours..but the true best way to take care of them..is being the example so they can learn from you..how to take care of themselves. Now I just…

Thanks Trina! You are so right about the kids seeing as an important component to life. We've been so out of balance the last few years..we really need to make nutrition and planning a priority.

Yes they are exhausting! On so many levels!!

Thank you..I'm totally new to this..how do I add ppl?

Yes..I know..I always think of the airplane scenario when a plane is crashing..you need to put your mask on before your child's. The trouble is I know all this stuff..and just feel more guilty not doing what I have to do. It's that bridge btw knowing it and doing it..that's the struggle

Agreed Jen! It's a mind-set. Have to shift my mind to believing I'm a priority as much as all the others I take care of. Then of course..Take action. Thanks for the encouragement!

Thanks Ming! I really appreciate your support and encouragement! I will be using your tips..finding an exercise I love..then finding time for it. And I definitely got to get use to tracking those calories instead of sho

Thank you! Yes those tips are great! I definitely have to keep the promises to myself..I think that is key! Even just putting myself on my own radar is a good start.
