Well the stresses of motherhood, coaching, counseling, and life got to me and it has been a long time since I have posted, but now I am back.  Things have been busy to say the least, over the past three months I have worked two jobs and “burnt” myself out.  I saw the results of not having time for myself and feeling the guilt of not having time for my family.  I moved away from practicing pilates and yoga and missed them for the workout, the relaxation, and of course the “me” time.  In the end, it is so evident how important it is for “active mommies” to find a way to balance all the stresses of life and budget time for yourself into each day.  Taking care of yourself by exercising and eating right is easily overlooked.  My plan is to return to some hot yoga three times a week and to get into the weight room.  In addition, now that the weather is nice our family can take bike rides, go hiking, and be active outdoors.  I encourage you to get outside and get active.  Try to find that time each day to have some “me” time and rejuvenate yourself!
