Put those guns away!!!

Skyy2

Don’t worry about the guns… I’m working on it. When I reduce my overall body fat, the guns be gone… but for now….I refuse to hide my guns.

Yesterday at the grocery store, I was carrying 4 bags of grocery and the baby in the infant car seat…. oh yea!!! these guns come in handy

this has been a very relaxing weekend…… house semi-clean, dogs somewhat quiet, me… got my workout in early.

Keep living stress-free,

Issues


Okay……. I have issues….but who doesn’t?
why am I so anxious to get rid of my post baby body? Shouldn’t I long to hold on to the last remnants of my pregnancy? Once my body gets back to that before pregnancy state, it will never again have this post baby look…

So, I will relax. I will still workout and eat clean, but I will no longer stress about trying to look like I was not pregnant. Because the fact is, I will never go through this again, so why not enjoy it while it lasts?

Told you…… I have issues.

keep living stress-free,
Skyy

Record your life…then ask yourself if it really matters

My musing::
I’ve noticed that I have started to write down things. and by doing this, it makes me a better person. More organized, less stressed. Things that I list:
what I eat/and how much
what exercise I’ve done that day
how much money I am spending
hobbies that I need to complete
things I like to do
things that I don’t like to do
my list goes on and on– and I like that the list is always changing according to how I feel and what i feel is important to me.
why do I make lists? again.. to live my life to the fullest. But are you really living to the fullest if you spend so much time recording? Yes….
for example: if I say that I like to run, yet don’t log (run) any miles— do I really like to run?
If I say that I sew— but have not sewn a stitch- do I sew?
Record your life: see if you really are who you say that you are. If you spend time doing things that you don’t like– why do it?
I’ve met a runner who “hates” to run— then why run?
I’ve met a mother who “hates” her child— then why have/raise that child?
List who you know you are.
Here’s my nugget of knowledge for today:
record your life
those things that you thought define you
but is not on your list; it’s not you.
things you won’t see on your list are:
what others think you are.
other’s opinions of you.
other’s expectations of you.
when you live your life by your own lists-
what others say about you doesn’t matter
what others think about you doesn’t matter
what others believe about you, doesn’t matter
what matters is what YOU put on your list.
List your life….. then ask yourself; Does it matter?
live stress-free,
