Kim's Kounseling Korner by Kimberly Martin

Dear Kim,

I have been very stressed lately... I am preparing for a National show coming up soon and it seems that I have time for nothing! I have a husband and 2 children and also work full time so it seems impossible to do the show. If its not one thing its another! I am sure I am behind on my prep but I can't seem to loose the weight or sometimes get to the gym! What would you suggest I do? I really want to get this show going but maybe there is something I am missing? I can't think because of the low carbs! Help!

Wendy,
If you've decided to do the show, then you must make time.
Maybe you should get up first thing before anyone else and get your training done.

As far as diet goes, you probably already know you'll have to prepare your meals and your family's meals separately and in advance.

If it makes you happy to compete, then you must be committed to completing the show. Your family will appreciate and respect your determination and be happy that you're happy.
As the saying goes, 'A happy mother means happy kids' or something like that...
Hope this helps and good luck!
Kim
