I will readily admit that I allowed myself to drop off of my training when we had our first child. I didn't completely stop, but I allowed life to happen and training took a back seat, which it probably should when you have a family. Family has to take priority over self, and therefore training.
But it quickly became "okay" if I missed a session, a week...And since it was okay to miss a week, it also became okay to skip training if it was too cold. Too hot. Too early. Too anything.
I understand having obligations. But my family also deserves to have a healthy husband/father. Your family deserve that, too. The best version of yourself.
It is perfectly acceptable to be selfish at times, especially if it means you are bettering yourself. Bettering yourself is a positive for the whole family.
What good am I if I can't play with my kids? Further down the road, if I don't make a commitment to health, what good am I if I wind up with a host of health problems and become a burden on the people I love?
The investment I make on myself now, regardless of what my training program looks like, will benefit myself and my loved ones in the future.
What investment are you making?
