I recently started training for 2 mud runs. My daughter is 10 now and I feel its time and its ok for me to start doing something like this for myself. Because I love my body and I want to see it flourish. I have always put her first and have always thought that taking time to be fit and healthy would take away time with her but recently changed my mind on that. I feel her seeing me excercise good healthy habits is a positive thing. Although she may have to " wait a minute" while I finish my workout its still showing a good example. Thoughts?
I've a joined the same gym as my DD. We work out together whenever we can. We have picked out Sunday's to work out. Before that I worked out alone. I love my body, too, and think it's a temple! I'll be 49 in May and want to remain healthy. I also want to look healthy. My DD saw me running and staying in shape, so she wanted to stay in shape just like her mama. We inspire each other.
I run 2-3 miles when I'm not in the gym. I run 5k's and would like to eventually run a 10k. Am looking forward to running a 7k - running the bluegrass in Lexington, KY.
I started eating healthier and exercising back in June of 2012 and love it. A lot of what I do is outdoors and my son will join me in it!
How about having her join you? Then you each other's company. Good for you to understanding healthy thoughts.
Good news, im so excited!
