My husband asked me that question today. How am I going to balance everything? Commuting, working, kids, household tasks, extended family, friends, spending time as a couple. It’s a lot.
I’m not going to be able to do it all everyday. I have to make choices, set priorities. Sometimes I’ll choose wrong and feel shitty about it. Sometimes. I will feel like I don’t have a choice (I have to commute and work so we can have my income to live, after all). Sometimes other obligations will require me to get creative with how I hit my macros and get my workout in.
But sometimes I will say no to an extended family member wanting me to bring the baby over so that I can go to the gym and that’s okay too.
