Zen

They say stress causes weight gain. Yet when you have children it is very hard not to stress, there are the financial burdens, the wondering about their well being, there is also the worries about your own inadequacies or possible inadequacies as a parent. Yet amongst all this angst you need to remain calm.

If anything this quest to make my outer beauty match my inner beauty is the importance in taking time out for myself f. I am proud of the fact that when the kids go to bed and the basic jobs are done I do NOTHING!!!!. I relax read a book, watch whatever appeals on the box, chat with friends.  When my trainer was originally trying to get me to use this time to exercise I was like well alright. But no I disagree with the trying to make exercise "me" time. I do not enjoy trying to Zumba when the kids go to bed in fact it made me resent my precious free time. I much prefer to spend my exercise time in the morning outside with the kids and my night time being a proud vegetable sloth.

So it is important to make things work for you find some chill time and locate your inner zen.
