I dont have those things. But I know they can be of help when I am ready again.Great points ma'am.
As far as time prepping.
3 things
instant pot
Rice cooker
Stove
I cook about 5 lbs of chicken in the instant pot at a time. Just throw it in and let it go. Don't have to worry any more.
Same with rice cooker when I use it. I'll also put veggies in there too steam with the rice.
Stove to boil ends and sometimes brown ground meat.
I'll have all three going at the same time and the only thing I have to look at is the stove but I'm there already.
I have four kids. 10/12/14/14 no it's not as hectic as toddlers but, they have their own challenges. Sports, school activities, projects and so on. Not to mention teen age drama and a son who thinks he can run shit from time to time
I work anywhere from 70-80 hours a week and still try to do as much of their stuff as I can but, like you said, missing meals is probably the hardest part.
These last few months with my mom in icu, my dad not being able to care for himself and, dealing with custody battles over my daughter, I won finally, I slipped up. But, I broke the cycle as quickly as I could. I missed meals. I had crap food. I lost motivation. But, I didn't bullshit myself like I see a lot of people doing on how they were doing good.
Self image again.
I have a lot of respect for a woman who can raise children, I have all the respect in the world for one who can do so and still focus on her own health for those babies in the future.
To your point on looking down on others, this isn't what this is about. It's about being honest and knowing what you're doing. Not being delusional.
Line i said, I'll help someone completely out of shape in a heart beat if they're trying. I've had clients I didn't charge for that very reason.
I could not handle 4 teens . My 11 year old is already dramatic enough.
I am happy to hear you are back on track. I hope your mom is better now. Honesty is important. I know for myself right now all of this isnt top priority. Of course I wont be going off the rails or anything but training and diet have been on lax status. I know I had a log I had to do that was obligated and I couldnt push it out any further so I just had to start it off by saying I will do what I can but I wont be giving it 100%. My mental state isnt the best right now. Just trying to preserve my marriage with all the stress of the kids and deaths. My BIL was my husbands twin so I have been filling in pretending to care about apple products and other things they shared and talked about. I will be going In for a dexa at the beginning of May to see where I am. I am hoping at least no bf gain and some LBM was added. I technically needed to drop some bf but cant be mad if I didnt with the effort I had put in. It was minimal. I had some ups and downs. But my clothes still fit so thats something. Was a little nervous busting out the summer gear.
Facing the truth is the biggest hurdle I think. So I will own what I put in and what I didn't and see what the dexa says.
But props to you and i hope i can look half as good as you at your age. Idk why people lie anyways lol. They arent fooling anyone who's been around. I have been killing at the gym, diet is dialed in and running all this gear but I look the same and even added a few pounds. Haha.
