After I rode my 8 miles I felt better. My blood was pumping and mama was happy. I just love all the attention my bike gets. At least 5 people tell me our awesome my Lenny is each time I go out. (Thanks Roxy!)
When I got home, the kids were still able to climb all over me. Lots of sweaty hugs and kisses. I still spent plenty of time with them. I was still able to cook a healthy meal for them and enjoy each other company while eating.
I have that a mommy complex that I feel that I need to give every last second of my time to my children. I feel that I am the only one that will give them the best care. I have to remember that I have to do things for myself. I can't always wait until they are all in bed to do a workout. I can't always wake up before everyone is up to run or bike. I needed to make time for myself....and I did.

i totally understand where you are coming from! Its hard to find the balance we have to learn like you had said in one of your blogs if we don't take care of ourselves we can't take care of them. Its a hard concept to grasp I am still working on it!
I can relate as well. When I am home doing nothing i feel so guilty. when i dont go to the gym or ride my bike I feel guilty. even worthless. Its maddening but Im working on changing to better self-talk. you can only do what you can :)
