Balance it's what's cooking

I realize I haven't blogged in awhile. In that time, I have gone up and down. I have gone through hell and back and I lost myself and come out the other side a renewed woman, with focus, understanding,and a new appreciation for life, love & family. In the past 2 months, I have managed to gain 10lbs! Yes I know, you must be saying not you JoRo! but yes I allowed so many aspects of life to interfere with my health, and diet. I lost sight of what was important to me. I almost lost my husband, who with out him, I would not be half the woman I am today. I was putting to much emphasis on my diet my workouts, my Beach Body Life, Face Book everything and not so much him. And that is not balance. There is nothing wrong with doing both, but doing both with the same fire and enthusiasm is important. I had no idea how to do that. I am an all or nothing person. So it took almost losing so much to realise hey I can have it all and still enjoy my life as a healthy woman, mother and wife. Living life doesn't mean I have to never eat a sweet, or indulge, it doesn't mean never eating white rice and beans. It means finding a balance that incorporates healthy 80% and maybe not so much the other 20%. Its OK to lead a healthy lifestyle as long as it doesn't alienate everyone around me if they don't choose the same path as me. Maybe I wont ever have 2 inch deep ab muscles, but what I have come to learn is that living a healthy active life the majority of the time, and indulging in life is way better than leading a life of the "couch potato". I love my family,My husband, my children are the most important and I will always show them the best example. By my actions. I am writing this blog from the top of the mountain the past few days I have gotten back on my horse, my workouts intense, my nutrition getting better and better everyday. And I will continue to work always, for health love and happiness.
As always Peace & Love
JoRo
