What is the point? What is a Cinderella Pact? It is a commitment to healthy living, exercise and BALANCE! As a mom, everything quickly gets out of wack. Add a husband, school, moving every 18 months....wow -- who was I? So, in an effort to recapture and redefine myself I am making a Cinderella Pact. Here is the deal;
- I will take time to meditate daily. My inner princess needs peace and balance to deal with the "royal family" and all the demands of her kingdom! I will champion myself by guarding this time of introspection and personal revelation.
- I will wake up early and exercise before anyone else in the castle stirs (4:15am to be exact). I will push myself to work harder, run faster, lift more and sweat,sweat, sweat-- this princess is renouncing her status as a cupcake!
- I will prepare wholesome, healthful foods and drink lots of water. I will decline all sugar, carbonated beverages, fast food -- I hereby banish the Burger King!-- extra salt, and processed food.
- I will shower, blow-dry my hair, and style it, use moisturizer daily and a modest amount of cosmetics. (This is tougher for a mom than you might think -- hence the 4:15am wake up)
- I will not wear my PJs or sweats all day long. I will dress appropriately for my age and I promise to learn about style enough to avoid embarrassing my children.
- I will go out into the kingdom bi-weekly to enjoy a night with my fellow Cinderellas. A little 'princess out on the town' -- for married mommies :) No girls gone wild here!
- I will wear my Cinderella gown on a Royal Date with my Prince on January 14, 2011
Is there some possible way to bottle your energy and motivation? I would buy it in a heartbeat! If I wasn't working full time, going to school online full time to earn a master's degree, and everything else life throws me- on top of having three precious boys and a husband- I'd join you. Oh, how I wish I could. Really, I do. I can't wait to read all about your journey!
