Another one of the big adjustments that I have naturally just made recently....another thing I have long been told to do, but couldn't.  I started thinking about what truly makes me happy and is worth the cost.  By cost I don't mean only a dollar amount.  But is it the worth the calories or the time or the effort or the emotional encounter. 

In considering this more regularly I have decided that the energy I get from exercising is worth it, as long as a kid is not sick and it doesn't cause me more stress by doing it because I have skipped doing things that MUST be done.  Some who know me well, are now saying....here are the excuses!!  And that is true.  I do use excuses to avoid exercise but I also know that if I skipped doing my paperwork for work to go exercise, the next day or the late-night hours I would then put in are not worth it.  It's not a good exchange or healthy for me or those I love.  

In considering my love of red wine, I decided that joining a wine-of-the month club was worth the financial obligation.  Reasons: I can have it on my healthy eating plan.  I live in a remote area where variety in wine choices do not exist.

In considering my love of being there for my kids when they need me (which is even very important to me as a single mom being both MOM and DAD to my boys), it is not worth leaving them home alone when they are sick so I can work.  It's not worth missing their basketball game to go to the gym. 

In considering if grabbing Taco Time on the way home, it's not worth the calories it adds to my day when I can go home and cook and eat healthy.  Now....with it being right on the corner when I turn to my house, I've worked 10 hrs, ran 5 errands and still have paperwork to do at home.....it is very hard to decide!! But...no it is not worth the convenience.

Typing on my blog.....worth it...so why do I procrastinate it???
