These last 3 1/2 years have been a blog blur to me. I can say that I've been busy just raising the kids as well as going through an identity crisis, a midlife crisis, a soul searching, a "what am I doing with my life?" phase and a "what am I going to do when I grow up?" phase. It's so much more than this though. And are we not all discovering more about ourselves everyday? I know I am a strong analytical. That could be good or bad. Perspective. And I have talked endlessly to women about the challenges of motherhood, let alone the challenges of becoming the ultimate....a Stay-at-Home-Mom. SAHM they say. We have our own experiences. One person's life experiences cannot be described as more fulfilling than the next person's. If I can say that my choices and my life are solely for me, and I have grown, then this is what is important.
I have enjoyed it all and have no regrets. I have lived and learned to the best of my ability and experiences. I am far from perfect. That's what makes me perfect. I have no right or wrong solutions to being a parent. Don't we give what we've experienced anyhow?
Anyway, Fit After Five was to be my journey of getting physically back into shape after having five children. And although this IS MY journey, I know that this is also similarly a journey for so many other women. Women who have one, two, three, four, or five children. Women who have six and more. Women who have NO children! This is simply a journey that I call Fit After Five which started as my physically fit self, but now I have come to embrace the notion of my mentally and emotionally fit self, too.
Journey with me. This is a re-start for me and I'll do my best to continue blogging.
