Hello all,
I wonder how many of you might be stay-at-home Moms (or, in my case, work out of the home while also taking care of my 18 month old daughter.) For those of you who are SAHM's, how do you fit in your workouts and healthy eating while also providing the same for your child(ren)?
I have done much better with my workouts recently, since I am starting on the Body For Life Challenge-I'm getting seriously motivated. I just wonder how others make it all work (or juggle as best as they can!)
Also, do any of you struggle with the feeling that others don't respect how much work is involved in staying at home? I sometimes find that, even if it's not spoken, the question of What did you do all day is just hanging there. I don't want to imply in any way that my DH is not a great guy, and I am grateful that he is able to run his own company and support us, all of which allows me to stay home. But I go back and forth with feeling guilty that he has to do all the money-making, and feeling upset when I ask for time to work out and it ends up being after I put the baby to bed at 8:00. Then, I have to try and be quiet so I don't wake her up!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, this just turned into a bit of a rant, Sorry about that - I'm usually a very positive person. I guess I just wonder how many are having these same issues? Do I always have to be the one to compromise? I think not! Hearing how some of you have dealt with this would really help me out.
Thanks!
