I am not trying to toot my own horn here, but for the sake of painting a picture for you on what I do and how I find the energy to do it, I will list some of my weekly tasks here (of course, they are not always like this, some days more, some days less
Get up 4 something in the morning, wish everyone on instagram a good
morning, go to the gym to work out for an hour (cardio and weights), come home
walk the dog, make three different breakfasts (we all eat something
different in the morning), make smoothies, prep dinner by moving items
from freezer to fridge, check youtube comments, wake up family, shower and get pretty, help my son change and get ready for school (he's 3
and half ), drop off at school, interact with teachers about anything
that needs to be addressed, go to work, work, work, work, at lunch; run
errands, after work; shop for groceries (some days), pick up son, play
with son, make dinner, clean up our morning mess, check myself out before hubby comes home and freshen up, help son with
homework, serve dinner, make time to talk to hubby, pack lunches, clean
up kitchen mess, laundry (one day out of the week), prepare mine and
son's clothes for the next day, depending on the weather, (including my workout clothes), give son a
bath, work on my youtube channel stuff (either editing a video or
writing back to people who write to me, wishing happy birthday's on
facebook etc), washing up (or doing a longer night routine some nights for extra beautiness ha ha!),
making sure son brushes his teeth, getting him to bed and reading a
book together. Go to bed, search for instagram photos to post in the
morning.
All of this, not to mention there are days when I have to make breakfast for work (I am part of a Breakfast club), make snacks for my son's school, research items for family, schedule play dates, take my son to places like the park or
or
or
Also, my mom passed away when she was 50 years old. She rarely made time for herself. She was an amazing person, but in my opinion, cared to much about her kids. She should have been alive today, if she just would have taken care of her health. I guess I shouldn't write things like that, but it's how I feel inside.
My goal is to be healthy and active.
Here is another video of mine on how I find motivation to do all that I do for my family...

My great grandma lived until her late 90's and was pretty fit until she was hit by a car in her early 90's and ended up in a care home (a really crappy one where they just sat the patients in front of TV's, I wish I could have done something about that but I was only a little girl at the time).
My grandma is in her 70's and can't even walk up a slight hill, is really unfit and refuses to do anything about it saying that it's her age at fault, my mother is in her 50's and going the same way.
The memory of my great grandma is my motivation, I want to keep on doing what I want to do until I'm a wee old lady and not make excuses about age.
You are such an inspiring woman. Definitely someone I'd look up to! You manage to do all of that and still make time for yourself and you look fabulous as well. =)
