So lately I have been motivated to start working out AGAIN and it has been fun. I go every Mon. Wed. Fridays to Liberty park and walk with my sister in laws and its so fun!! Before I would usually find reasons why I need to workout and then quickly give up when I don't see immediate results. Yes I know its sad, but then I've noticed a change that has kept me motivated and No its not in my clothes sizes, although I would not mind that at all!!!LOL!!
The change is with my kids. I have noticed that I am able to play outside with them and keep up,that I can play longer with them without being out of breathe and last but not least they seem happier!!:) Oh gosh, its such an amazing feeling.
So the other day T.j and I were outside playing with the jump rope, when T.j came up with the great idea to see who could jump the most without getting tired or messing up. I was like heck no cause I never win those kinds of games!! Then I quickly tried to persuade him to ask his dad, while I scooped him some ice cream and he declined my offer and insisted that I do it with him. So I asked him to practice for a little bit while i ran inside to put on a girdle so he didn't die of laughter after seeing me jump and jiggle all at the same time!! Anywho we started his little game and guess what happened next... I couldn't believe it....... I won!!!LOL!! I was so excited that I made him play with me a few more times that day and the following day until he started crying saying I was cheating!!LOL!!. He was like I hate that game lets play something else!! So we stopped and found other games to play that we were both good at!! But the point I was trying to make was that working out helped me become a better parent and enjoy life with my children!! I've realized that I have missed out on alot of quality time with my kids! When they would go outside and play I would stay inside and watch t.v or on the Internet. I have changed though... I love spending time with them before but I love and Cherish it so much more now. I couldn't imagine my life without them!!:) So thanks Anna and Cia for allowing me and my crazy little boy join your LPC!! (Liberty Park Crew!!!)
