The man is awesome

Sometimes The Man just gets it and is awesome. So he deserves a little bragging about instead of bashing.

I used to be in really good freaking shape...literally I ran 2 marathons, one while pregnant, 8 halfs, one while pregnant...basically I ran a lot and worked out alot. My gym choice was this studio called A healthy Balance #teamahb and I thrived there. Not I'm the drp tons of weight way because that was never my goal but I became faster, stronger, and happier.

Post baby. Im not in marathon running shape and won't be for a long time. I met with my coach at ahb and basically asked what do I do v. What I can afford. (Note: good coaches aren't free!). She presented packages said I know it's alot of money but think about it for a while.

I panicked. I can't afford this. I have a baby who requires daycare and diapers. Then I went and talked to the Man and you know what he said. "You should do it."

Then he reminded me of why....going to AHB had me at the healthiest I'd ever been, both physically and mentally. My workouts and training helped me to stay focused, burn off anxious energy, sleep better, and feel good. The Man noticed too...he said I was happier when I was training and it made him happy for me and our relationship. Then he told me think of mini man and what kind of mom you want to be. The man said he'd rather have me be poor but healthy and happy then a few hundred dollars richer a year but unhappy and not healthy.

So guess who gets to go back to her beloved #teamahb. This new mom. And she couldn't be happier.

Washcloths

Mini man had visitors, lots of them and for a while there it was pretty damn exhausting. So exhausting in fact that I was (and maybe am) still behind on laundry.  Apparently that's the story of my life from now on, chores that need to be done but I just don't care enough to do them.

Anyway one visitor came and asked me for tweezers. Tweezers those I have those I use regularly to keep my eyebrows in check. Tweezers granted.

Next request: washcloth. Blank stare from me.
Visitor: don't you have them. Me: somewhere.
See here's the thing I wash my face when I shower and splash water on it from the sink. So if you ask me for a washcloth and sound judgey doing so...known that I too am judging you. Is it that hard to wash your face in the shower or just splash water on with your hands? Because right now the washcloths I can find that are clean have rubber ducks on them.

And washcloths not on my radar of essentials to survive each day.
