Does it get easier? No.
Harder? Definitely, because I'm motivated to push harder.
What do I want to achieve from the
30 DS?
While the program promises a possible weight loss of up to 20 pounds in 30 days, I'm not aiming for that.
See, it's not that I'm not ambitious or that I'm lazy or lack the guts to reveal some big goal in public. I'm just happy the way things have turned out and who I am.
The way I see it, I am a mother of two boys under three years old. I got pregnant with my second child less than a year after the birth of my first. I do not have supermodel genes or the money or time for a personal trainer. The fact that I can already fit into my size 27 jeans with room to spare is reason to rejoice.
Yes, I have a loose tummy and an overall wider girth. But my arms have gotten strong from carrying my children. I don't hope to regain my pre-children figure again, only to tone up and tighten the body I am in now. I'm no longer the same person so why should I look the same? I think there is a beauty to every stage we're in in life. Even if I have more curves, more tired eyes, a waning memory, I hope I have gained more kindness, love, patience and can unabashedly wear my heart on my sleeve when it comes to my family. No shame in that. No shame at all.
Yes, I want to keep improving, but for the right reasons, for reasons that matter to me, not because of societal expectations. Idungivasheet.
