It has been a hectic last 6 or so days. Mom left to go back to Florida on Sunday, so the few days before then, I was busy with spending as much time as I could with her! After bringing her to the airport on Sunday morning, I came home, meal planned for the week and just reflected on the time that I got to spend with her. Do any of you meal plan? I try to meal plan our dinners and I try to make them healthy, but with a toddler who likes to show his independence by not eating what you make, it gets quite difficult and frustrating. So now it's time to get back into the swing of things.
Monday it was back to work and I really tried to focus on getting back into the grind of things. When Mom was here, as much as I love her, I didn't really stick to a daily plan, a daily workout, etc. So I really wanted to make Monday count.
And I did. I began my 2nd 24 day challenge. Man I love that stuff. I ate some pretty yummy food while Mom was here. And when I say yummy, I don't mean yummy and healthy. I mean bread with cinnamon sugar butter, big fat burgers, pancakes, donuts, etc! (Gotta love it!) So I figured now would be a great time to start another challenge, because the first 10 days is a cleanse. So let's cleanse my system of all the bad food and start filling it the way I was before! I did 2 of my bootcamp workouts and I was dripping sweat by the first 10 minutes. Have you ever heard of BodyRock workouts? They are awesome and
free. And they are sent to your inbox everyday and are 10 minutes long a piece. So you can't say you don't have time. You have time. They have beginner and intermediate workouts and you can tailor them to you. But you need to push yourself. In order to change, you need to challenge yourself.
Today was great too! I did another 2 workouts, cuddled with Andrew, and got every thing done on my will-do list. This is all while working full time from home. People always say "Man, I would LOVE to work from home!" But let me tell you something, it is hard. When you are at the office, you work. When you go home, you're home. But when your home
is your office, your work hat is always on. (Even if they don't ask you to, you are constantly checking your emails, texts, etc) Now throw a 2 year old short tempered toddler boy into the mix. Now we got ourselves a challenge folks. Between changing diapers, feeding him, holding his cars, him sitting on my lap, stealing my phone, turning the lights off and his screaming fits, I am on the phone, writing emails, answering texts and more. And I'm crazy enough to be an Advocare Advisor and a Young Living distributor all at the same time. Call me crazy, and some days I pull my hair out and just cry because I think it's too much, but I love my life.
I hope everyone else has had a great last few days! Xoxo
