With my new job, I spend a lot of time driving around the city and sitting with clients. Being on the go so much I found myself frequenting drive-thrus way more than usual. Before I knew it, the weight had piled on and I just felt super uncomfortable in my skin. I was avoiding mirrors, canceling outings with friends, and I found myself falling into a slump.
I started to do some searching. I knew diets were out of the question for me, but I could commit to choosing healthier options. The next question was join a gym or don't join a gym. Gym memberships can get pricey, especially the ones that are bigger and offer pools, child are, etc. Being a single parent on a budget, I had to get creative and devise a plan.
I found a gym that was running a discounted offer on a yearly membership. It was a smaller gym, so I wouldn't be in a place that was intimating, and it also offered personal training sessions throughout the week.
Next, because this particular gym did not offer child care, I came up with a schedule for exactly what day and time I would workout each week. I talked with my mom and sister and found someone to watch my son while I worked out for one hour, twice a week.
Week one went great! I already feel more energized and motivated. I'll get that comfort level back before I know it and get back to being my fab Mod Mommy self again!
What type of lifestyle changes are you making this year? How do you stay comfy in your own skin?
Love and Blessings!
