OK, so here goes! My first entry! I doubt anyone will read this except my mom! Love you MOM!
My Krazy Mommy Moment:
My sweet, wonderful husband gave me a gift card for a massage and facial for Christmas. Awesome right? Well, I made my appointment and immediately started to feel the GUILT!!!! This is a feeling that most moms feel quite often I have discovered (No, you are not the only one). I first started feeling guilty about skipping my workout today. A whole body weight training circut no less!!!! How in the world will I make up for all of those calories NOT burned? So, I get to the salon, strip and lie there naked and completely exposed. Not a feeling most women enjoy. The massage starts. I should be in complete bliss right? Except, I am not thinking about the heaven that my body is experiencing, I am thinking about the list of "TO DOs" not getting "TO DONE"! (Also, I would not recommend drinking a 32 oz. Diet Coke before a 2 hour salon session. There are no bathroom breaks!). My massage session ends and the soreness from the past week's workouts is alleviated! Bliss....YES! The facial starts and I start to feel guilty about not taking better care of my skin. Too much Diet Coke and not enough water, the days that I don't shower after a morning workout until 9:00 at night, etc. By the end of the two hours, my body felt totally awesome, and my face was glowing! Did the guilt stop? No! Did I still have to go to the bathroom? YES!
Lesson learned: I need to enjoy the rare moments of self pampering without feeling guilty!
