My health is a Mess

One of really big struggles is my overall health. I don’t come from “good healthy genes”. My husband does and I pray my son got that from him as well! My family has a history of mental health causing physical health issues. I have drug and alcohol abuse, diabetes, and cancer genes flowing through my veins. Retirement is often preceded by death in my family. For my I try to be healthy but I am so focused on earning more, spending time with my family, and maintaining a home that I don’t have time to exercise or meal prep. I know, I know, you make time for what’s important. If I swing to more time on health I have less time for family. No, family first, always. Less time on work, longer working in this imbalance. No thank you. Drowning in the middle of it all. 100%. Today I’m downloading a free exercise app in the doctor’s office because the scale was another 5 pounds higher. Is it temporary motivation? Possibly. All I can do is try today.
