Been a SAHM to two children for many years now. Youngest about to start school and a big part of me wants to go back to work.
I lost a lot of confidence in myself when the kids were babies however I don't regret being at home.
A year or so ago I got into fitness in a big way. I was talented at sport as a youngster but lost it and put on a lot of weight when pregnant. Getting it back gave me a huge boost and a bit of my old spark back. Although I'm slim, toned and fit now, I know the struggles.
With this in mind I'm about to embark on a personal training course. A friend of mine runs a cycling business and said I could run some spin classes for her etc
So why am I now talking myself out of it?
It's not just that little voice saying who wants a personal trainer in her forties. It's things like still wanting to be there for my youngest after school, will I get really stressed, have what it takes and be able to juggle it all with time for my marriage and myself!
