So earlier in the week I pledged to myself (and to all of the internet) three things I would do this week. I really don’t think they would be overwhelming tasks to achieve. In fact, it has turned out to be even more beneficial than just helping me reconnect with a healthy lifestyle. By wanting to hit my 10,000 steps per day goal, I have also spent more time with the dog… training him on walks at night. This is awesome as I was really lacking in the department of helping my husband train our dog. Also, since my husband got me a bluetooth device, I have started calling friends while I walk. So I’ve been able to keep up my “friend payments.”
But what if it turns out to be at the expense of something else in my life? Like what if my husband ends up putting the kids to bed every night? What if I walk after the kids go to bed and I miss out on spending quality time with my husband? What if those around me start to feel neglected or it seems to them that I am too focused on myself?
At what expense should I be willing to keep a pledge to myself? This is a very difficult question for me to answer. I would love to hear your thoughts.
