As a mom of many, I know all about excuses... And if I havent used them all, I have probably at least heard them all. Excuses make my head hurt! We've all got 'em, we all use 'em- but we dont all let them define us! I squashed my excuses a few years back and took full responsibility for myself and my actions.
I am a strong mutha, serious about my health as well as the health of my family. I strive to set a good example and live by what I preach: Motion is lotion/garbage in, garbage out/you are your actions, not your words... I hope to help others learn ways to get in exercise and a healthy lifestyle without extremes or burnouts. Simple, eveyday tactics to Get The Job Done!!
And yes- usually WITH your kids!!

Half of a Whole

(This is my hubs at the St Pats Parade downtown Savannah... my last trip there years ago!)

Conflicting emotions!! I am not so good with these, usually I know what I want and realize that life is too short to bother with what I dont want! In this case, I want the end product- but really dont want to do what is required to get it...
I am talking about a Fall maratnon. It is possible (although not prudent) for me to head down to Savannah for the inaugural RockNRoll marathon. I can see the race expo, the route of my old stomping grounds, the incredible finish with a ton of family around... I like what I see. But, I just cant hold onto that "like" enough to train for it. I am so wishy washy with this event! Perhaps its the guilt manifesting into negativity, it is a lot of $$ at a bad time of year... Perhaps its the heat, long runs or speedworkouts are uber tough in high temps... Perhaps I just dont really want to do it, just want the glory without the work... Or perhaps I am just tired- in which case I need to suck it up!
Either way my mind is unsure and running is seeming like a job. I really hate both of those factors!
I know your input isnt necessary for my decision, but would love to hear it anyway. Have you ever had something you want but no desire to attain it? Funny how that is even possible! Often times I want chocolate but just DONT want to go to the store for it no matter how bad the craving... So maybe these conundrums arent rare for me, lol.
