I Heart Friday.

What a week. Work was crazy, life was crazy, to say TGIF would be an understatement! So far week 1 of operation beach body has been pretty successful. Today was a bit of a bust, starting with coffee and bagels and a mid-day after lunch cookie...you can't be perfect all the time right??? I missed the gym today because of work and stress ate my way through the first part of the day so my plan is to get back on track tonite and maybe try to squeeze in an extra workout this weekend. The weather is looking up, the freezing weather is supposed to take a break and I got a fancy new running watch from Santa so its about time to break it out of the box.

Between the chaos of work and life and the fact that I tend to move a million miles a minute, I decided my work for 2014 is going to be CALM. I have a great friend who has challenged me for the last 5 years to come up with a word every year to keep me on track. I've had some really great ones the past few years (grace, devotion, passion, fruitful) but I think calm is going to be a winner for me this year. So in celebration of my word, I am going to leave work an hour early and get a massage before I pick up my kids and start the crazy weekend. Taking care of myself is part of the plan to being a happy, fit working mom. My calm is at the gym, quiet time after my kids go to bed, closing my office door and listening to music while I design, there are so many things that I am going to keep in mind to keep my mind calm. Less anxiety, more go with the flow. Very out-of-the-box for me. But that's what a goal is for!
