However, this year, fall has a whole new meaning for us Robisons. We have a kindergartener! New clothes are purchased, backpack is packed, and I've got lots of ideas for healthy lunches. It appears we are ready, but are we really "ready"? I guess in so many ways we are ready. Nate is so smart and active and has so much energy and loves school. I feel that I can no longer keep him busy enough at home and know that he will learn and grow so much from being in a classroom and surrounded by other children his age. He loves art and science experiments and writing his letters and he will get all of that and more at school!In other ways, I'm not sure we are ready. It's kind of like having a baby. Are you ever really ready? You can't possibly be. There are so many adjustments and changes that are made when that baby comes, and you learn and grow as things come along. I have been lucky enough to work part time since Nate was born and got to spend days at home with him playing, reading, zoo trips, music classes, all kinds of things. I don't know where the time has gone. People say that time just goes by faster and faster, and they are very correct. I am grateful for the time I got to spend with him at home and will miss him, but at the same time, I have enormous pride that he has grown into such a smart little man and know he is going to do amazing things. It's a really big step watching your little one get on such a big bus, by himself. I'm not sure how I will handle it, but know I will be wearing sunglasses. I know every Mommy survives this moment, so I will take comfort in that, and look forward to him coming off those bus steps later that day to tell me all about his first day of kindergarten! So, just like with a brand new baby, we will learn how to deal with all the wonderful and scary things that come with a child headed off to school, and then eventually, high school and college! Oye!
The other change that I am about to embrace this fall is getting back on the healthy track! The summer really reeled me in when it comes to snacking, ice cream, and skipping workouts because we were so busy. And, I have to say that I did not get away without paying a price. My energy is down, my skin is icky, a few pounds crept back and I just haven't felt as good. That's the wonderful thing about making this change earlier this year! I know what I should feel like, not bogged down by simple carbs and processed foods, and I know how to get back. So enough about the bad, let's talk about the good!
I have a half marathon coming up in October and my running was at it's best when I was in the thick of the 21 Day Fix. On the meal plan (simple, whole foods, portion control), the daily workouts, plus the daily Shakeology to help keep me full and a delicious treat to curb my cravings. The great news is that there is an amazing sale on the challenge pack this month! The whole program plus a 30 day supply of your choice flavor of Shakeology for only $140. This is less than $5 per day for a meal replacement supplement (about the same cost as your Starbucks coffee), a proven meal plan, a variety of daily workouts and, of course, ME and the support of a group of people on the same mission that you are! So if you are ready to get out of that summer haze of picnic food and party drinks, I am here to get you started. Follow the link to join my Event, add me on Facebook or private message me! Can't wait to help you "Fall into Shape"!
