The new school year begins, a thousand papers to go through from school, fixing lunches, getting the 'correct' snacks, making sure kids have clothes that fit, put after school activities together, decide what/when/how much, cooking, cleaning, dogs, then..... me. Well, through all the craziness that is going on, I have joined Cross fit Lexington. I am on week 4. I am actually excited about exercising again. I can do this.
I have realized that since my daughter was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, in 2005, I have neglected myself. I have been in 'go' mode. Survival? A type of depression? I don't know, but I stopped exercising and even really caring what I ate. Well, this is not about 'diet' but taking control of my health and exercising again. I feel good. I would love to look like I did before kids, but more than that I want to feel good an have energy.
What do other parents do? I have seen everything from nothing to overcompensate. Me? Taking one day at a time and asking God to be my strength. I have really pulled back from a lot. I only do things right now that effect my kids/husband. But... I can do this cross fit. One day at a time.

Good for you, Wendy! I know that I could not be happy if I didn't include exercise in my daily activities. Glad you are taking time to take care of what God created. :) One day at a time...one step at a time...routines...those are really the way I approach so much. ~Natalie
