You know... The kind where it seems that nothing goes right. Yeah... It's been one of those months.
I've had so much going on that my health and fitness has been sidelined. I've got that mom mentality that everyone else comes first. One of these days I will actually acknowledge that working out and eating healthy isn't a luxury and it isn't selfish. It is a necessity. And what kind of example am I setting for my children? When mom gets stressed she grabs a bottle of wine and a cheesecake?? No... Mom should go for a run. At least the kind of mom that I want to be would go for a run. Old habits sure are hard to break! This is the one thing that I struggle with fitness-wise and cannot overcome. Stress consumes me everytime and no matter what I tell myself it just takes over.
What do you do when you get stressed?? If you've had old, bad habits what do you do so you don't revert back to them??
And on a kinda unrelated note, I'm up to 47 followers!!! How exciting is that?! Everytime I see I have a new follower it seriously makes my day! I started this blog just as a means to hold myself accountable fitness-wise and to share my climbing adventures. I feel like it has become so much more :) So thank you, each and every one of you! I truly appreciate it :)

When I get stressed, I eat too much pizza
New followers is the greatest feeling
I can totally relate...I am definitely having one of those months where it feels like I am exhausted ALL the time and am struggling to fit in ANY fitness or healthy eating. I just want to reach for the sweets everywhere!
Reading blogs has helped me stay motivated but I have also realized that it may be okay right now that my body just needs a break.
Hang in there! Hope the stress decreases a bit here soon :)
Had to miss my swim workout today because I got out of work too late to make the 30 minute drive to the pool and still be back in time to do Girl Scouts (I'm the leader...) bummer. I'm going to try to go in the am tomorrow before my hair appointment.
Gotta fit it in whenever you can!

Ahhh I am TOTALLY having one of those months!
When I'm stressed out I like to take a drive. Or cuddle with my dog and talk to her like she's a real person.
I am in awe of you mamas that balance life with fitness! Yes YOU deserve time for you to be a better person and mommy!!
Hope you have a great weekend Haley!!!
Speaking of bad habits, you mean like eating pringles, gummie bears and reeses for dinner like I'm doing right now?? Hmmm... I did run 3 times this week already. That evens it out.
