I often think, if I was independently wealthy, I would be able to hire a cook, housekeeper, chauffeur and Nanny. Then I could hire a personal trainer to keep me motivated and help me get myself looking as good as possible. You know--like all the Rich and Famous.

But the reality is that I have to do all those things and so life is a constant juggle of priorities because some things need to be taken care of RIGHT NOW and for many women, we get to ourselves last.

I am just a stay at home mum and I consider that I work 24-7. I have a lot of respect and admiration for all the mums out there who are doing the same job I am at home and then doing another job outside of the home.

Whenever I get discouraged that nothing seems to be happening or that I have gained a lb or 2 due to those dreaded TOM cycles, I get out a pair of the pre-LC WOL just to remind myself how far I've already come.

Just keep plugging away.
