As a health and fitness coach I hear the phrase, “I don’t have the time”, every day. 

Being a mom of 3 I know what it’s like to be busy and have every second of your day scheduled. But, within that schedule is, Dentis appt, Shower, brush my teeth, get gas for the car. 

Those things are scheduled in because they are a priority to you. You can’t say, “I just don’t have the time to stop for gas”. Because without it, you won’t get where you’re going anyway! 

Think of your body, like your car, exercise and healthy food is your gas. If you don’t make time to fuel your body, it won’t get you where you want to go. 

So maybe we need to think about exercise and healthy eating in a different way…..

It needs to be a priority

I love chicken. I could be a vegetarian, as long as I could eat chicken. My family, on the other hand, not so much. 

I tend to make it the same 3 ways, all…the…time. I like it!! But I digress. 

When I saw this tonight, I thought, finally! My 11 year old won’t grunt when I tell her whats for dinner!!

Ok Moms, let’s get serious here.

Being a stay at home mom is amazing! We get to see our children grow up, go to all of their games and practices and get hugs and snuggles in the middle of the day!! 
We are sooo lucky, right??? 
Lol, it’s not that simple!! 
Don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t change being an at home mom for anything, BUT…..

We clean bums and noses all day

Wipe up spill after spill 

We’re always stepping in something sticky, finding food in places where there just shouldn’t be food and yelling things like “get your mouth off the toilet!”

For once, I would love to go to the bathroom alone. Or shower, alone. Or do anything alone, actually. 
I know we are blessed. But, being so blessed comes with some not so great benefits. 
We are around food all day long! The food our kids like and can somehow eat 2 bites of and leave the rest. Of course we can’t let it go to waist, so we eat it. A handful of fish crackers here, the crust from the pb&j there. Oh, you didn’t want that half of your grilled cheese? No worries, mom will eat it. 


Now, don’t get me started on finding time to exercise!! What?? Get up at 4:30 am to run on the treadmill in my gloomy basement?? Um, no thanks. I’m sorry, I just can’t! Am I alone here?? 
My alarm clock is my 3 year old and by the time I’m done putting all 3 kids to bed, the only exercise I want is the bicep curl of a glass of wine coming up to my lips! 
“But you’re a Health & Fitness Coach!” I know, I know. But I’m a mom and a wife first. I struggled with all of that above for years and years. I’ve never been “thin” I’ve struggled with those 10-20 lbs my whole life, until I was invited to a “CHALLENGE GROUP”! 
A simple little challenge group changed the course of my life. No joke. 
-Are you tired of being tired?
-Want to feel good in your own skin?

-Be able to give a little more to your family?

-Be a good example for your children?

I got #MOMSTRONG and I want you to get #MOMSTRONG with me!
Fill out this quick survey and I’ll get back to you with all the details, ASAP

I Love this! I am a stay at home mother of 3 and my best friend is a working mother of 2 with a very high powered job that includes lots of hours and travel. We have a great relationship because we appreciate each other’s “job’s”. We don’t judge each other, we learn from each other. This is a great article!
