This Does Not Come Naturally.

For An Hour Every Day, I Did Something. I Was On The Elliptical Or The Treadmill, And If Someone Asked Me To Go To A Class - Whether It Was Spinning, Boxing, Yoga, You Name It - I Went. By The End Of The Month, I Felt So Good, I Just Kept Going. I Didn't Want To Lose My Momentum.

I've Never Met A Bread Basket That I Didn't Love. At The Same Time, It Can Make Me Tired. If I Have Too Much Wine, It's Too Much Sugar. If I Overindulge On Tortilla Chips In A Mexican Restaurant, I Can Really Feel It. I Think Sometimes Just Watching It And Not Doing Things In Excess Can Really Help With Whether You Feel Good Or Not.

When You Work With The Same People For 10 Years, They Become Family. Now When I See Them - It Might Not Be For Nine Months - But When I See Them, It's Great.

I Love Meditating And Taking Some Time For Myself When I Need It. As Moms, It's Easy To Feel Guilty About This Sort Of Thing, But It's Necessary. If I'm Feeling Overwhelmed, I'll Walk Down The Beach Or Just Sit In Silence And Reflect. Even If It's Just 10 Minutes, Every Little Bit Helps.

I Value So Many People Who Have To Work Full Time, Definitely Single Mothers. Their Work Is The Hardest Work. I Applaud It So Much. I Absolutely Love Being A Mother. I Love His Milestones. I Love His Smile. I Love That He's Talking And Making Sentences And Telling Me He Loves Me. It's Amazing.
