Workin' It Out!

It took me years to realize how important it was to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Not until was I trying to get pregnant, did I realize that what I ate was not only important to my inner and outer beauty, but to my reproductive system.  From prenatal vitamins (which I still take, two years later), not sweating the small stuff and maintaining a well balance diet are just a few ways in being a true Mommy Posh.

Now being a stay at home mom, my day is a huge balancing act, between my child, husband, home and being a Momprenuer, can sometimes make this Mom scream,  but if it wasn’t for me giving myself some mom”me” time, I would end up resenting my hubby and maybe even myself…by relaxing, relating and releasing I am able to perform like a well oiled machine. So make sure to give yourself little rewards throughout the day, it’ll make you a better mom and wife.

Usually, the night before, I prepare breakfast or on-the-go snacks that can get me pumped throughout the day, with sliced fresh fruit, granola bars or Instant Quaker Oats and bottle of water, my morning is stress-free while getting my son ready for school. By eating a well balance “quick” and healthy meal, I am ready to begin my day…from managing my home, arranging playdates, blogging, taking a dance class and/or catching up with my mommy friends, without suffering from a sugar crash. Remember moms, it does not take a lot of effort to lead a healthy lifestyle and there really is no excuse that you can have that should allow you to do otherwise.

What do you do to jump start your day?

Every year I dread to hear these words from my husband “Get ready for some football!”  “Again??!”  I moan….My husband is a huge die hard football fan, so throughout the season and particular every sunday I am known as a “Football Widow”.  Even though my hubby’s favorite team – NY Jets – are not playing in this SuperBowl, he’ll still be glued to the TV as this is the end of his favorite season…

So in speaking to some of my gal pals, I came up with a list of ways on surviving Sunday’s Superbowl as well as any event your hubby may be ga-ga over:

  1. Get to know the game or at least pretend to. The more involved you are, the better you will feel. Not only will you will feel like you are a part of the game, but your husband is more likely to understand you when you are watching a “Sex and the City” marathon.
  2. Give and Take.  Arrange to have his friends over for the entire season and have him send you to a spa or shopping spree – without the kids!
  3. Family Bonding.  Get the kids together and enjoy an afternoon of watching some football, the kids will love it.  Just be sure to entertain them during the commercials since they are intended for adult males.
  4.  Do Your Research. If you are a newlywed or have been married for a few years pick up “Help! I’m a Newlywed … What Do I Do Now? Wife-Saving Advice Every New Bride Must Know to Survive the First Year of Marriage” its a great how-to on surviving the things your hubby loves, but you may not.
  5. Write your hubby a love note saying “You can be my football quarterback anytime.”
  6. Attire.  Wear the colors of your husband’s favorite team. If he loves the NJ Jets, find something green in your closet to throw on, whether is a cozy short or a lacy lingerie.
  7. All in all, just sit back and enjoy..its only for a couple of hours.
