I know I posted this in my stories, but I’ve grown to love it enough to put in in my feed!
The amount of personal growth I’ve seen since I started exercising last year can’t be quantified. I’ve hit plenty of speed bumps and twice as many milestones. I feel strong in my mind and strong in my body, but the biggest change has been in the between time... Waking up, fixing lunches, changing diapers, breaking up sib squabbles, cleaning messes. Feeling good most of the time, instead of frayed at the seams.
Recognizing that the choice to take care of myself first has made me a better person, and most importantly a better mother.
I might not continue to compete in races, but I quite like the (im)permanent mark it has left on me, and my family.

@dobbinsv I think she already said in a previous post she doesn’t have someone clean her house twice a week. As a single mom (husband passed away several years ago), it’s all possible with prioritizing. I work full time and have long work hours... I’m sometimes there 14 hours and not out of choice. I’m currently doing my Masters degree. I used to have a house cleaner every other week but I cancelled them to save money and realizing I can manage it. I used to have a full time nanny and now my mom pitches in. I make time for family and they know they are deeply loved. I exercise 3-4 times a week and try to time it during early morning, evening, or while smalls at school when I’m not working. It’s ok to need help and it doesn’t matter what format it comes in.... we all need help. What’s wrong with that? And why does it matter if @mommasgonecity has it or not and how? This post is about re-prioritizing and how important that is. I used to have more help and I re-prioritized and to be honest I was depressed so I almost couldn’t deal with it all.... exercise broke me out of it and re-prioritized and now I do more. She doesn’t have to answer to you. And anyway for fudge sake... this is social media!! 🙄 you don’t get to know someone else’s trials.

@dobbinsv nobody can make you feel something- your feelings are entirely your own responsibility. Something about @mommasgonecity effort & success in exercising has triggered something in you. That is not Jessica’s responsibility- it is yours. She is very honest & open- I don’t feel it’s fair to continue to demand more from her. Just to turn the tables here... I had a look at your profile. From where I’m sitting, you appear to have a beautiful, charmed life. You continually use the word “blessed”. You give plenty of scope for other people to bash you for all that you have out of jealousy or what they imagine you have that they don’t. Not nice is it? If you feel you are lacking something in your life- like help or support in the house- then do something about it. If you feel you need more help so you can exercise- then find it. You are the only person responsible for your “blessed” life... not Jessica.

@emilysburgoine after my first child, I was able to get back into working out when he was 8 months; it felt “right” for me at the time and I could fit it in pretty easily. I’m now 2.5 years after my second baby and I am JUST now starting to come out of the fog and feel like I can start devoting time to myself. Over the past 2.5 years I’ve been exhausted and just haven’t felt like I could add one more thing to my plate. Then all of a sudden, I got the urge to make myself a priority again. It’s only been a month 🤪 but I’m getting up at 5 every morning to work out and I’m just starting to feel like myself again! Point is, you’ll feel when the time is right. Give yourself some grace and if you can’t squeeze it in yet, eh, don’t worry! You’ll get there eventually!

@dobbinsv I have two kids and work full time and don’t have a house cleaner and have to cook, and do bath time and clean and still find time for me. I also manage to take vacations alone with my husband. Am I unaware or unappreciative of my good fortune because I don’t broadcast it? Does the fact that I have a mom who can help take away from all of my hard work? Everyone’s journey is different, and sure some folks can afford to get their house cleaned. I say: you go girl! Why is it all about invalidation and cutting people down? Whether or not someone cleans @mommasgonecity house should not take away from the hard work she puts in every day to be a good mother, wife, person, woman. More power to her! @mommasgonecity you keep doing you! Haters gonna hate

@dobbinsv she has already and multiple times talked about paying for some help and how this intertwines with self-care. I understand where you are coming from. But continuing to press when multiple people have answered, including @mommasgonecity, isn’t kind, supportive, or achieving what you are getting at. // Please don’t compare yourself to ANYONE. We are ALL of us superstars. We are ALL doing great. You do not need someone else to lower themselves or make excuses and concessions in order for you to say to yourself “I am awesome. I’m doing an amazing job. I am ENOUGH.” @mommasgonecity is enough. You are enough. We are all ENOUGH. #womensupportwomen

I love how many people on here are salty about the fact that she has someone who cleans her house. Lol! Most people have a support network who assists whether that’s parents, in-laws, older children, friends, and some spouses are involved with cleaning a house. My mom’s deceased and has been since before my daughter was born. I don’t sh*t on people whose mothers help them. We all get 24 hrs in our day and I’ve seen plenty of people sit around and them complain that they’re overwhelmed and have zero time to work out. Stop having so many kids if you’re overwhelmed. Stop sh*tting on someone who has the funds to hire help.
