I started a new blog today. You already know the name since you're reading this. Mommyathlon. Why this name? A little background? I worked in the legal field for over 10+ years and in various other government jobs many years prior to that. I decided to be a stay at home slave, um did I say that, I meant mom, when having my second child. I've been at home for 1 1/2 years now. I'm married, taking care of kids, family, blah blah blah. We all know the deal, we're all doing it. In our 30's, putting many things before ourselves and feeling tired and a bit burnt out at night when all is said and done.
I began my own business, M Cakes Designs. You guessed it, I'm a baker! That little tidbit makes my weight loss interesting. But enough about baking, that's one of my jobs. This blog is different. It's a selfish ongoing string of my thoughts during my training for my first duathlon and during my attempt to get back to my pre-baby weight. NOT EASY! It's a place for you to post your thoughts as well. It's not about business. It's not about children or anything else that runs at the top of our lists of priorities where we place ourselves last. Don't all moms whether working hard in the real world or working hard within the same walls at home need just one little corner of their life where they can be there just for themselves? Well, Mommyathlon is just that!
Mommyathlon is our corner where kids don't come in or spouses or family or errands or chores or time frames. Our corner where making dinner and getting to work on time or racing across all distances to get children to practices and games on time stays behind. Come with me and share your experiences if you're trying to do something similar and working towards a goal of accomplishing something for yourself. This corner is for us and our health and our empowerment. Everything else, KEEP OUT!
