take better care of my body

Been doingmuch better wthis. I decided that i am just going to take the time, and pit myself 1st inthis aspect. o Ive been slathering on lotion, doing my hair,evenputting onmakeup when i dont have plans…I am getting in touch with the pre-mom me! I am going to keep this up, I forgot how nice it feels to feel good about myself.

I am kinda doing the George idea from an episode of Seinfield. He decided to do the exact opposite of everything he would have normally done. And so when I was at the sink last night instead of calling it quits after brushing my teeth, I flossed, too. And I did my little skincare routine. I am no longer going to make excuses about being to busy to care about me. Heck, I have shaved my legs more in the last week than I had in the last month! The kids will survive w/o me for that extra 5 mins it takes to do the little extras which help to make me feel more in touch w the woman I once was. I am going to be the old me again, one day at time. No more fat ass in raggety clothes, stinking like smoke, no makeup, hair in pony, stubbly legged, lazy mess of a housewife. What a nightmare! When I truly examine my behavior, its shocking. Talk about letting yourself go! Hey, get back here,old me, I miss you!

I want to get back in touch with the woman i was before i had my kids. Showering daily is tough with 2 kids under 2, but it need to be a priority, and it will help me to wake up in the a.m. Shaving, applying lotion, flossing, skin care routine… just taking care of myself and being the woman my hubby married. Getting dressed everyday, which seems like a no brainer, is something that i stuggle with being a stay at home mom. Its so easy to just stay in my pjs when i know that thoughout the day there will be spit up and poopy butts to deal with. But i just feel so much better about everything when i look presentable. I am turning over a new leaf.
