Is it Worth it?

I've been wondering lately if I've taken on too much all at once. I'm loving all of these feelings of accomplishment and self satisfaction, but some time's I begin to worry if it's just too much? I had a conversation with C today about all these new things I'm venturing towards. He really made me realize the more you have on the go, the higher your chances of success will be! He is totally right, it's like entering the lottery, the more tickets you buy the higher your chances are at winning! I've started so many new projects in the last week and I've felt nothing but excitement for all of them. So far I have not been so discouraged that I want to quit, which is a drastic change for me. My personal motto used to be "If at first you don't succeed, NEVER try again". I can't say I used this motto in every aspect of my life but almost always for short term goals, because I never had the perspective to see how huge these little accomplishments could become.

Almost every blog I have written in the last week has been about something new or different I've begun or accomplished. I'm writing more, I'm drawing more, I've started taking a more proactive interest in gardening, and I've managed to appreciate my family and fulfill my role in our household. I think this is a lot to take in, yet I still feel that drive to add more to my plate! I want to start a mini work out regiment. My body is something I always took pride in and I have lost that a little. Growing up I was always very active, whether that be through soccer, cross country, or cheerleading I was always on the go. So to add to my list of many accomplishments I want to be toned and lean again. I can't say I really need to lose more weight I just need to tighten things up.

I'm sure all those mothers out there know how difficult this can be to do. Not only do you have an infant to care for, there are a million and one other things that most women feel take precedence over their physical appearance. I think it's just a mothering thing... But I'm taking my body back! I want to have a few years of gorgeousness before I have to give it all up for the next little munchkin. Not only that but I feel that in exercising I will have more energy to dedicate myself to my daughter, my spouse, and my personal goals! Who knows, when I'm fit again I may want to get involved in some kind of physical sport! I'm so excited! Go me and my new found sense of determination and commitment! It's totally worth it!
