Women of God can never be like women of the world. The world has enough women who are tough; we need women who are tender. There are enough women who are coarse; we need women who are kind. There are enough women who are rude; we need women who are refined. We have enough women of fame and fortune; we need more women of faith. We have enough greed; we need more goodness. We have enough vanity; we need more virtue. We have enough popularity; we need more purity. Margaret D. Nadauld

To the Limit
The other morning my son told me he was proud of me for working out. It's a struggle some mornings, getting up, getting dressed & getting on the treadmill, either doing a weight workout or pilates and my yoga morning blast. Most mornings its 30-45 minutes of absolute me time.
I need that.
Honestly, it makes me a better mom. Seriously. How mad can you get when you get that endorphin rush going? It helps me release pent up energy. In a lot of ways I lack control over my life. I can't control what happens in school. I can't control other people's response to me. I can't control traffic. I can control how I deal.
I run.
I lift.
I dance.
I stretch.
For those who didn't know me back in the day, this side of me is something new, and may even be shocking. I tried to do all of this, but it was hard because of humpy.
Little man wants to run in the lepruchan fun run with me on the 26th, which inspires me. He wants to be healthy.
My main goal of life coaching has been to lead a healthy lifestyle, and to inspire my family to do the same. I am thinking that we may be meeting that goal.
Meatless Monday: leftovers for breakfast & lunch (waffles, Tex mex black bean quinoa burritos); snacks apples in yogurt peanut butter sauce & an orange. Dinner: jambalaya!
