My baby is about to turn a year old by the end of the month and I am still struggling to lose the last 10lbs. of my baby weight loss. It’s the hardest 10lbs. that I’ve been trying to get rid of. I can’t seem to burn it off like I use to. Having a baby has taught me that I never come first anymore. My whole existence and life revolves around this little person that solely relies on me for her well-being. I am happy to admit that I love being a mom but being a single mom is especially difficult because there is no one to change shifts when I need a break. This is certainly more challenging on time management. It’s taking me longer to take the weight off because I simply have less time to dedicate to myself and my workouts. Even though I am very conscientious about what I eat, I fall victim to not eating enough times in the day and not drinking enough water to flush out the toxins and keep me hydrated enough. I know all the the key points on how to lose the weight but I have been severely challenged with time management. Many times, I wished there were more hours in the day so that I can get more done. In short, I find myself frustrated with the lack of time to do things for myself. Part of the learning process is to find ways to carve out that one hour in the day to exercise and then to discipline myself to eat and drink properly. That’s simply the key to losing weight.
Good news today – I got my one hour workout in. I drank lots of water and ate healthy foods. tomorrow is another day and I take it one day at a time and one pound at a time. In my mind, I see myself slimmer, more athletic, healthy, vibrant and happy. That’s my affirmation of where I want to be and it’s what guides me.
