6 months ago, I NEVER could have done this!
Hi there mommies! Gosh I’ve been having so much fun at mommyfest, that I nearly forgot to post my TOOT. I just love that (at least you can’t smell it - hehe). Or, are we the only strange family that affectionately calls passing gas, a toot or a fluff?
Anyhow, yesterday I went for a walk - for a whole 45 minutes! That is the first exercise for me in MONTHS! It seems like such a huge hurdle. So I called the sitter, forked out the whole $5 for the hour, and walked out the door and down the street. Difficult, eh? Really? I never could have done that 6 months ago. In the depression, my goals were simply to wash my hair, make dinner, watch the children, etc. And you know what? Everyone is just fine. The children are resilient. They know that we love them. So if you’re in that yucky place, just relaaaaaax! It does get better. But usually only when we stop flogging ourselves!

Congratulations! Sounds like a great “toot.”

Way to go on getting out there and completing a 45 min. walk. I always feel so much better when I walk or exercise. My whole mood changes. It’s so good for you. Keep up the great work.
