This is me. All 44 years of me. I don’t have rock hard abs or firm thighs. I don’t wear a size 4 (or 6 or 8.) In fact, my favorite jeans range from a size 10-12. My weight fluctuates as does my dedication to working out and eating healthy. But I’m alive and staying safe, and that’s what really matters right now.
Today marks 5 weeks of quarantine. There have been days I wake up ready to take on the world. I’ll walk for an hour and eat salads and lean protein. I’ll organize the garage, do yard work and cook 3 meals for my family.
But more days than not, I stay in my pajamas, feel overwhelmed by the number of dishes in the sink, binge watch a trashy show on Netflix, and eat pasta on paper plates.
This is me. A mother of 2 young adults, married for nearly 22 years to the boy who asked for my number when we were just 15. Most of the time we act more like bickering siblings than partners.
I’m not fitness goals, I’m not parenting goals, I’m not marriage goals. I’m definitely not IG goals, but I am here, and I’m glad you are, too.
