OMG. Um…yeah. OMG. Sometime, somewhere in the past month, I started doing something that I swore I would NEVER do. I mean, there are certain things that just really go against everything I’ve set out to prove with my whole Mom Sexy Revolution. And I’m not proud of what I’ve been doing lately.
Ladies — I can’t believe I’m actually saying this…but I have pretty much broken each and every single rule of Mom Sexy since I became a full-time WAHM almost a month ago.
I’ve gotten out of bed and thrown on yoga pants instead of “really” getting dressed. (Shameful).
I’ve decided to totally forego makeup because I know I’m not leaving the house that day. (Inexcusable).
And I’ve also found myself raiding the fridge and totally falling off my healthy eating bangwagon simply because I love working while sitting at my kitchen island and the damn fridge is right there staring me in the face. (Disgusting, and my ass is starting to show the evidence).
OMG. I LOVE LOVE LOVE being a full-time WAHM…but I’ve got to get my shit together again.
On that note, I think I’ll go pour a glass of wine and drown my sorrows…and then hopefully get out of bed tomorrow feeling like I’m ready to take over the world again as my normal Mom Sexy self.
That is, of course, after I have coffee and check email and get my entire day planned out. But if I manage to throw on jeans and apply a little makeup after that, I’m considering it a Mom Sexy win. Baby steps, right?
I’d love for you to be a part of my Mom Sexy Fridays guest post series going forward this year. If you’d like to participate and share whatever it is that makes you feel Mom Sexy, or how you got your Mom Sexy back, please email me at themommyologist(at)gmail(dot)com. I’d love to hear your story and share it with other women who want to get their sexy back!

I’m guilty of sweats and no make up too. I need to get my act together too.
I am guilty of wearing my lulu’s as soon as I walk in the house after a day at work… but make-up, no matter what, I’m wearing, even if I’m at home! However, I haven’t been the gym since January so yeah… time to get back on that!
I totally understand!! Last night I totally indulged…well, if I am being honest I indulged yesterday afternoon, too. I ate like 10 freaking wanna-be oreos and then a WHOLE PINT of ice cream! Ugh! Now, in the past I would have let that get me down and completely given up on my whole losing weight and getting healthy goal. Today, though? I am planning to do my normal 30 squats, 30 counter push-ups(exactly what it sounds like, I am not at the regular ones yet) PLUS my Kim Kardashian abs work-out. I also plan on doubling, maybe even tripling my squat and counter push up numbers today. I will not be defeated.
I think the attitude that you showed in writing this and deciding to do it different tomorrow(well, today now) is definitely Mom Sexy!! I know mine is!
I totally get you. When my husband was out of town for a month, I totally lost my Mom Sexy. The good news is we both gained weight while he was gone, so we can do that part together. But I have got to get back to laying out my outfit and even makeup the night before, so I have no excuse in the morning.
One way to make yourself feel better is do what I have been doing: get a Pilates Stability Ball. I sit at my computer and do homework while sitting on the ball. It is a great workout while working! You can’t help but bounce, roll from side to side and when you need a break from work, do a few ab and leg exercises! I try sitting crosslegged on it and try and keep my balance and see how long I last without rolling off! ha ha It gives you a good laugh too! Give it a try and maybe you will feel a little bit more sexy (if not goofy) while working!
Girl, you got this! It’s only been a couple weeks – you can totally bring the Mom Sexy back. Like take your stairs 2 at a time. And do ‘em a few extra times.
No sweat.
p.s. If I could work at home, I would TOTALLY be in yoga pants most of the time.
After years of going for comfort over style, I finally got my “mojo” back. By the age of 24, I had two children and was about 30 lbs heavier. I have been with my husband since the age of 14 and we were both well past the stage of impressing each other. With both of us working and going to school while caring for two young children, my appearance was the least of my concerns. Four years later after countless fitness/diet highs and lows, I’m not exactly at my ideal weight, but I definitely feel sexier than I have since the beginning of my seven and half year marriage. Success (in work and school and life) has given me a confidence – sexy! Also, taking yoga classes and running make me feel good about my body which also makes me feel sexier. I’ve made a conscience effort to dress up. I used to just go out in a tshirt, jeans and flip-flops. Now, I’ll accessorize (even if it still jeans, tshirt and flipflops!), wear dresses (maxis are the best!), and heels or cute sandals. And sometimes, when I’m not feeling so great and haven’t worked out in a little while…a glass (or two) of wine always does the trick!
At least you realized it before it’s too late!!! You’ll get back on the wagon and look fab for no one in particular in no time!
Oh, girl.
I just got home from Blissdom a little bit ago. Trying to shut my mind off… but seriously considering sleeping in my clothes to make drop off easier tomorrow.
Are you spying on me? That sounds way too familiar!
What you dont know ladies is that most men can think of few things sexier than yoga pants and no make up, on a practical level it also means we don’t have to wait as long to leave the house – win/win.
