She told me I would not imagen you as a mum, you are doing to much sport you could never imagine you a mum and I got really angry, because I know that if I ever become a mum I will not give up doing all the sports that I love and I am not planning on being a bad mum just because of that. <br /><br />Thanks for the inspiration!<br />BrittaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02349339987331531318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-38099620784339819312010-12-03T19:42:01.837-08:002010-12-03T19:42:01.837-08:00Wow!

I think what I admire the most about committed female athletes like you is that you care enough about yourself to pursue your dreams and that you will go to great lengths and make tremendous sacrifices to achieve your goals. Each person is entitled to choose his/her own priorities and values - right? Who ever said that if you are a mother and a wife that you need to subordinate your self care and identity to your children and spouse? I wholeheartedly believe that by being true to yourself you are most capable of being the best person, mother, wife, friend, etc. that you can be. Keep on living exactly as you are Donna! You are definitely an inspiration to me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-24155099957840757962010-12-03T17:00:22.320-08:002010-12-03T17:00:22.320-08:00Nicely said !!!!

They carry around this bitterness and unleash it at the moms who don't seem to follow "the rules" that dictate a mom should give up her self--her being--to parent and take care of the home. You do IM for so many reasons. It is really complex, I think, why we choose to do it. And it is a self-centered pursuit. But so? Why shouldn't you be able to pursue something for the self? You have one go around on this planet... you do everything you can to be an incredible mother and wife and STILL make time for you own passion. that is a realized person in my book.<br />Kudos.GetBackJoJohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12971771566518642672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-55604174937564358542010-12-02T12:44:23.655-08:002010-12-02T12:44:23.655-08:00I agree KT, I was so mad when she mad all those co...I agree KT, I was so mad when she mad all those comments I wanted to say, " so what if I had all these people helping me out, what's it to you". As long as my kids and husband are happy and our family is functioning well ( well technically well if you know our family) then screw you.

I'll go you one further: we (and note it's not "I," because if you do have a partner/husband, why should someone assume it's only the woman who makes a decision to work out vs. other things?) pay someone (well) to clean our house, clean our gutters and a few other things so we can use that time to play with our kids, do our full-time jobs and, yes, work out. And it's wonderful we can afford to do that, but if someone wants to judge me for that (or for the fact that our house sometimes looks like a train has hit it), screw 'em.kThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12914156528460352049noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-88335625534382647092010-12-02T09:21:08.418-08:002010-12-02T09:21:08.418-08:00OH GEEZ! Donna, as you know, people - especially ...OH GEEZ! Donna, as you know, people - especially women - who do not follow the lifestyle that we do - are always looking for the scapegoat. You just need to focus on YOUR wonderful life and your passions - which includes working out - SO super!<br />Jerome and I were talking this AM. He was on the Computrainer (5am) and I was on the TM - and he looked over at me and said, "WHY do people think they do not have time to workout?" Our kids were still fast asleep upstairs and there we were - spending time together - at home - working out - THAT is what most of us do who work, have a family, and live a life - So, really, HER loss and HER lame-ness....don't let her get the worst of you.<br />xoJennifer Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16423353141131054943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5673867350092811567.post-42876716812426128452010-12-02T09:13:55.113-08:002010-12-02T09:13:55.113-08:00Thanks Man, I couldn't believe I was hearing t...Thanks Man, I couldn't believe I was hearing this and she was really truly sincere about what she was saying if not a bit angry.
