Good morning happy Monday! Welcome to another week!
How is your week last week?
Have we been getting through spring cleaning and getting ready to bust outside, we had a fire ban on here in Saskatchewan and then it snowed overnight!
I’m not sure if spring is here yet! Well calendar wise yes, weather sometimes lol!
The last couple weeks I’ve been finding myself a little disappointed in myself!
I am a stay-at-home mom of 4 kids, 2 that go to school and 2 that still stay at home. I have been married for 15 years!
I have been struggling the last couple weeks to find balance in all of my stuff.
Let me explain this to you, it’s does not have to do with how my house chores and/or role that I play in this house, I have been trying to focus on getting back onto my meal planning and fitness!
Oh, have you noticed that prices of groceries are going up? I have noticed that it’s hard to get everything that you need, and be able to afford it the same time.
This is one thing that I’ve been trying to get better with again is being a much more frugal home-based mom. I had really thrived with this before for my third pregnancy and some into my fourth pregnancy!
After the move that we did, things got a little hard and I tended to pull from a box a lot more, this is a hard habit to get back into this planning and not pull from that box or just make macaroni!
Another thing that I feel that I am lacking in is health of myself! I struggled with my weight for many years this is not something that has been traumatizing to me but I am very proud that I had never been in as good shape as I am now and I’ve had four kids and being out of school for over 10 years, I had found a lot of excitement of working out and eating better when my second child was younger!
And, now I’m sitting here I can hardly get myself to drink water, I had done some workouts the other month, trying to get into it again and the only time that I kind of have motivation and time to be able to do it at night!
This is fine except for summer is coming and it’s really hard to do that when you have little kids and an entire family with summer coming!
So I’ve been kind of hard on myself not knowing how to achieve my stuff blah blah blah.
I then decided,you know what my third kid is going to start play school soon my last kid still takes naps, and so I feel then I should not be trying to push myself to the point where I feel so bad that I can’t do it not because I’m just too lazy but I am busy right up till like 9:30 at night.
So instead of being angry with myself I’m trying to take a different spin on it.
I thought I would focus little more on basic health!
With this set of trying to force myself to workout until the time is right I really that sounds like an excuse but…
I thought I would try to focus on my water intake and simply just work on some stretching, and to try to really focus on what I am eating!
To eat healthy is something that I’m trying to work on. I am a fairly active mom obviously chasing 4 kids. However remember the kicker is that abs are actually made in the kitchen!
It is really hard for me to try to start something and not go full in, I’m trying to focus on the little things to make my way to the big things!
It’s just the time of the season for the kids and myself and I have to keep in mind with in a couple years it’s all going to be different again! They will not always be here and my babies!
With new goals for a bit, as summer is rolling in, I am excited about trying to take a step back on everything, fold a couple towels to put down for now and take it slower!
What are some clean eating foods you like?
I think it’s fun trying new easy foods, to get the ball rolling!
Hope you liked the blog! Want some healthy motivation?
