Day 21 of Gwen Bell’s Best of 2009 Blog Challenge:“Project. What did you start this year that you’re proud of?”
I know I’ve dedicated a lot of time to my Shredheads journey on this site, but it is deserved. As someone who tends to put everyone and everything — family, work, friends, laundry, myriad errands, etc. — ahead of myself, 2009 was remarkable because I finally had this challenge (project if you will) that was all about me.
I needed it. I was drowning a bit emotionally before I started taking care of myself beyond the occasional pedicure and I’ve since been sailing on the most even and happy of keels in recent memory.

That’s awesome! It is SO important that we moms take care of ourselves first. I’m planning on doing more of that in 2010.

I too am one of those people who tends to put everyone and everything else first. And 2009 was a little bit more about me. I think I need to push that even more in 2010. I’m glad you have been making strides for yourself too!

and exercise is, like, the BEST way to take care of ourselves - a little mental centering and a hot bod makes mama so much easier to live with.
