I am terrible at motivating myself.  I know I have to give time for me.  With a two month old and a 4 1/2 year old it isn't easy though.  I find the days flying before my eyes.  Today I made time and my goal is to sneak in a second work-out.  I keep trying to tell myself that this is real.  That I have committed to a deadline and that there can be no excuses.  Then I catch a glimpse of myself in the mirror or in a reflection and it becomes real.  My body... post baby.  Everyone says "you just had a baby, give yourself a break" and I get that- but it doesn't change that feeling.  The feeling like that you aren't yourself. That most of your clothes in your closest don't fit. That you find yourself half awake and half asleep by 5 PM.  Ughhh.  One day at a time I guess or one work-out at a time I should say!
