Every week I set out to workout 4 times a week. That seems doable for a busy, working mom. But every week I would make it to the gym on Monday + Tuesday + by Wednesday I was sore, tired, + had mom guilt for going to the gym so much in one week. Two days isn't a lot, but it was enough to make me feel like a less of a mom + wife because my husband was the one doing the cooking. I get home between 5:30 + 6:00 from the gym so I'm able to help with school work, cleaning up, + bedtime, but the guilt was still there. Jewish guilt is real + true. And all of this guilt was self-inflicted because my husband never even so much as hinted that he has a problem with me going to the gym. In fact, on numerous occasions he's told me that he's glad I go because I'm less irritable when I'm able to take care of my body. I'm able to be a better wife + mother when I exercise. Sweating + lifting weight is therapy for me + I am beyond thankful for such supportive husband who encourages me take care of my health.
