Only six more weeks
My husband and I are going on a cruise this January with a wonderful group of friends. I've been looking forward to the trip with such joy and anticipation until one of our friends said the other night, "Only six more weeks." I looked down at my less-than-tight abs and thought, Six more weeks! The bathing suit terror helped me resist chocolate for about sixteen hours then I remembered my sons' emotional well-being was more important than my flat abs.
I do not believe in dieting (especially during the holidays) and I keep reminding myself that my husband loves me and doesn't care if I have a perfect figure, but that vision of me spilling out of my swimsuit just won't go away.
How do you keep the healthy balance - taking good care of yourself but not making yourself crazy trying to be perfect?

I learned a long time ago I can never be perfect. I workout 3-4 days a week and try to eat right, not a diet just don't eat junk, if I need sweet I reach for an orange not a cookie. But I still eat cookies, don't get me wrong! I wish I had flat abs, I wish I had a smaller rump, BUT I want to be healthy. Healthy so I can run and play with my kids, so that is what I go for. Can I go jump on the trampoline with my daughter, yes because I have worked hard to get back into shape, can I play football with my son, well sort of, he is almost as big as me and he scares me, LOL! But I get out there and do it! 4 hours of me time a week gives my family hours and hours and hours of time for them, because I have the energy to do things and I love it!
