1up Wellness Challenge day 2!

Today was mush harder because I also had to work a full day, pick up/drop of kiddo to day care and make dinner. But dinner was tacos. 

Food: I have a hard time focusing on just my food. I kept trying at every meal. Breakfast was the closest at being successful, until kiddo wanted to finish his cereal on my lap the joys of having a cold. Lunch I turned off my monitor and put my phone away and ate the majority of my meal focusing just on my meal. I realized that I try to multitask as much as I can (reading/doing work emails/catching up on social media) because I feel like I don;t have enough time to do work/mom/take care of myself. Then at dinner we were all talking and my husband was happy that I was being present and that was great until kiddo had a giant melt down that led to me putting him to bed before finishing my dinner.

Movement:  I honestly almost forgot to do this. I had changed after dealing with the sick/tired kiddo. So I had already changed into my lounge clothes. So I took my butt back upstairs to put on a sports bra. I decide to get me moving I really needed something happy and bouncy. So I turned on my Spice Girls pandora station. Which got me in the mood. Brought back memories. 

Journaling: I wake up. I feel rested. I am able to enjoy my breakfast and when I put on my outfit for the day I sneak a peek in the mirror and smile. I look good. I focus on my smile, the strength of my body and thank it for all that it does. I am proud of the arms that hold my baby. I am glad for the legs which help me chase and play with my son.  When I look at my stomach, I remember carrying my son and bring him into this world. I do not dwell on what my body looks like, but I think about all of the things it has done and how it takes care of me. As I get ready for bed I think about all of the things I was able to do today. I was able to take care of my child, my family, I have taken care of myself, (physically, mentally, emotionally. 


So I am realizing that I though with week was going to be much more of a physical focus for me has so far been much more mental.  It really is all connected. Interesting.
