Dear Motivation,
Wish you were here,

Dear Exercise,
I miss you so much. Sometimes when I’m driving I see people running and it makes me think of the fond memories I have of our times together. I need your endorphins. I also miss the extra energy that strangely comes from starting your day with expending energy you didn’t know you had to begin with. It’s like a little mystery we can solve together in the future.
I do believe we’ll be together again someday.
Love,
Brittany
Dear Escape,
I keep trying to find you. Then just when I’m headed toward you, reality kicks my backside. I daydream about you. Don’t get me wrong, Escape, I love my reality (sometimes), but when I girl is deprived of you it’s like forcing her to walk through an endless winter with no hope of Spring. It can get a little frightening.
I hope all is well with you,
Brittany
i know exactly what your feeling with motivation and escape. i feel your pain. <3
ReplyDeletei have yet to abandon exercise although it's definitely slowed down. i recommend hula-hooping. it's fun and your children can do it with you and/or be amazed that mommy's doing it.
hang in. <3
I am so with you, especually with the exersize. Usually I am so good at it, I am usually the best dieter and so motivated... well, what happened to me? I have 10 extra lbs stuck on my thighs and I keep eating cookies and neglect the treadmill... ?? maybe oneday I will get back there.
ReplyDeleteAnd as far as escape, editing my pictures is the only mindless escape I get for now, hey, it works!
Miss ya, hang in there.
I love these Brittany. I feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteHugs to you,

I love how succinctly you summarize these. This could have been me from October to January - first trimester and all that... but I'm now thanking those nesting feelings as I finally feel like getting things done! Even exercise!
ReplyDeleteIt'll come around. Focus on it and it will come back to you!
Great post.
ReplyDeleteA really creative and simple summery of describing the feelings of busy moms in the winter.
On down days I try to tell myself: "to everything there is a season"
But that does not always do the trick does it?
Cheers,
Leah
