My mom has told me that very thing GingerWilson! As a younger/newer mother and a wife, I find it hard sometimes to do for me. I have nor tried combining my healthy lifestyle with my son. We go active things together, which helps me to be active and to lead by example for him!

Great advice. I am trying to follow it myself.

You are so right you have to do it for you. It is just so hard for us to come to that realization. Especially as women we tend to put everyone first and if we do put ourselves first then we feel guilty. I have finally gotten past that and for the first time in 49 years I am putting me first.
