Fridays!!!!  What does that word mean????

                To so many people Friday begins a Sigh of relief that one can relax …. That they have two days to recover from the stresses of the week all just to start all over again on that mundane Monday, or it could be that a long awaited activity to go out with friends or family is finally here.  

For me it has had many different meanings it could be the OMG I have to pay that bill day, or the Gee I have a date tonight I’m so nervous and excited day, or I can’t wait to get home and do absolutely nothing day, And even though that is one of my favorite Fridays they are so few and far between that begs the question ….  How in this world do we all do it …? We Juggle life Work and Family & whatever curveball comes our way and then …. Now Nutrition on the go, Exercise   and whatever comes after that.

But as a Rule Friday being the  same as any other day  I find you still have to keep your head on, which can be a daunting task sometimes I have three children and one Grandchild on the way  and so that means I don’t usually get a chance to sit down and ponder its usually Run Run ….. And then Run some more.  

So now you can see why Nutrition and exercise took a back seat for a while and how I created my own personal prison of fat but it wasn’t just Fridays…. It was an everyday process for me   that lead to my own downfall.   That is why I thought that reflecting on such an importance would benefit others ….. Everyone loves to have those I don’t care days but when it comes to your general health you have to keep in mind that every day is a Monday…..  When we juggle our daily lives it’s easy to say well it’s just one day it can’t hurt that bad….. But in reality one day of not towing the line with nutrition and exercise takes three days to get back to where you started on Friday it just isn’t worth all that extra hard work. 

Take it from me ….. I’m the queen of rationalization as my daughter so eloquently put it …. There were days I was like it’s just one day I can eat that burger and Fries or OMGGGGGG Look at that Sundae and before you knew it there I was looking at a 285 lb Human garbage disposal with a desk job and quickly on my way to being my very own heart attack special and the worst part no matter how many times I looked in the mirror that wasn’t the person I saw. 

Then there I was one day laid off from my job Savings becoming depleted rapidly I sat down told my daughter We only have this much money left but I don’t want to be like this anymore  and my daughter said with a smile Mom No matter what money we have your health is more important do what you need you have my support and every day since she has been my own personal trainer & sometimes  I think she is worse than those people on biggest loser she really pushes me and I am glad she did …. She helped me to turn my Everyday Friday I don’t care days ….. Into the get up and get ready to go Monday everyday!!!!  So in conclusion when you look at Fridays and it’s a payday …. A rest day or whatever day …. And you’re looking at that OMGGGG SUNDAE Make it a Get up and kick your butt Day everyday and one day you will soon realize that it is not worth that extra 3 Days of your life just trying to get back to Friday!
