Skinny girls look good in clothes.

Fit girls, well, we look good naked.

Yes, that's right. I wrote it. I don't know who said the above quote, but it is worth repeating EVERY DAY. Even having hit a set back this last week with feeling sick, sinus infection, coughing, vocal cords busted up - I'm still MORE FIT than most people around me.

I haven't stepped on a scale, because it really would not be an accurate assessment of my weight. I've been so funky lately, until I'm back into my routine for a couple of days, I can't count on the scale and my measuring tape to tell the true story.

I'm back into a more regular routine TODAY, for the first real day of my 30 Day since I fell ill. I'm not starting back at the first day, I'll still call this Day 9, for sure. Because with Isagenix, it's FLEXIBLE and goes with the flow.

You have to be realistic with yourself when you're making all these changes. I have to figure out the balance. I can't say YES to everything, because when I do, my body tells me NO WAY. It shuts down and gives me a much needed kick in the butt.

I have to remember to put my health first, everything else will work better when I'm working at my best. No skipping a shake, or Ionix Supreme, or eating that well-balanced meal, either.

So back to the basics. Even if I'm not feeling well, I will make sure to get those two shakes into my day right now. I can feel the difference. And there's no way I will miss that Ionix Supreme. My daughter went to the fridge yesterday and got it for me, because I was starting to get "yell-y" with homework time. She knew, that bottle held the magic and the mom she wanted. The one sitting before her, ready to lose it over homework, wasn't the one she was use to these last few months!

And that's what snapped me back. And reminded me that just because I have all this new found energy, the body is working at peak performance, does NOT mean I can say yes to everything everyone wants from me. My body reminded me that it still needs the rest, so stop skimping on that part, OR ELSE.

Lesson learned. Sleep is a MUST. No more packing the wee hours with work, work, work. Get to bed, get the rest and get back to being who I love being: MOMMY with patience, who has fun and doesn't get stressed over Kindergarten homework!

To health, wealth and my kids in 2012.
