[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Raising kids is super hard work. And letting yourself go might be one season, but when they get older, you can pick yourself back up, get a nice haircut, start working out again, and get nicer clothes. That's what I did. I look better at 45 than I did at 38. I was too tired and busy with 3 very small children to ever wear anything but J Crew shorts and schlumpy V-neck T-shirts during that time. I had a god awful sensible haircut, never wore makeup, and looked tired all the time. Now that my kids are in late-elementary, early middle school, I have enough time to jog twice a week and see a personal trainer once a week, afford better clothes because I have a job again, wear makeup and have a nicer haircut, and get botox twice a year. Letting yourself go is almost never a one-way street. [/quote]

I agree with the sentiment.  I’m 35 with three kids.  Two (very close in age) are in elementary, one toddler.  I look a lot better than when my older two were babies, but with a toddler, I give myself some grace.  I wear casual, but nice clothes, and work out occasionally. If all kids were in school, I’d work out 90 min 4-5 times per week.  But with a toddler, it is more like 40 min, plus an extra 20 to shower there twice per week, some weeks get skipped.  And even at that, between packing a bag for both of us, working out, showering, driving there and back, it eats up most of the morning.  It just isn’t the season in my life to be super dedicated to exercising.  I control my weight with diet, but some extra toning would be nice.  [/quote]
