Marathon
Let me be clear. I will not be running a marathon. Not a real one. As we have discussed, I don't run unless I'm being chased with few exceptions. The Marathon I am in the midst of is a work one. We had several great events this weekend but the result is that it is Monday and I'm only halfway to the finish line. Therefore I'm dubbing the last two weeks the Marathon work week.
Last week was the first of doing all my health initiatives as well as going to school and working non-stop like a crazy person. I'm glad to say that it hasn't killed me. It may, in fact, be something I can get used to. In honor of all the moms I love that do a schedule like this consistently I am going to suck it up and just get used to it.
Luckily it isn't normal for me to work weekends on a regular basis so it should actually be easier to do it all than it was last week. This week I can see the light at the end of the tunnel and I'm excited to see some progress for all the hard work I've done.
I think I am even going to treat myself to a spa day on Friday. Get my hair cut, get a Pedi, and then chilling out and catching my breath with a skinny margarita. I've been looking forward to this for, what feels like miles.
I thought about how much I talk about how much I work in this blog on my way back from Manchester yesterday. Talking about it helps me manage the time and because I feel like I talk about it a lot I feel like I'm exaggerating a bit. Last night, however, I got home and was too tired to do anything. I passed out on the couch before I could even tell Ben about the weekend. I tried to stay awake for Game of Thrones but it was hopeless. I couldn't keep my eyes open. As soon as my head hit the pillow at bed time I was almost instantaneously asleep. I was exhausted.
I have always been really good about getting the sleep I need but this past week saw me in bed for about 10 hours less than usual and I felt it. They say you need sleep to promote weight loss and I am beginning to see why. This week is all about fostering a better balance!
