The weekends are the hardest for me, I tend to fall apart each and every weekend. I don't make it to the gym for long enough periods of time, if at all, and I eat crappy food, and way too much crappy food at that. I look forward to Monday because I know what to expect. I know I work a long day on Mondays, I always work out on Mondays, and I swim on Monday nights. Pretty simple, right?
Well, today is a snow day. As much as I am trying to 'work' from home, I can honestly admit that the only thing I HAVE completed is Peyton's 8 year movie for her birthday. In all reality I would not have gotten that done if this snow storm didn't bombard us, so yeay??
We talk about balance consistently. Regardless of the dynamics or gender roles of our relationships, some of us are the ones who stay home and some of us are the ones who work. I placed a phone call today asking my partner in parenting to come home early so I could go into work for a bit. The basic answer was, "I can't. I am swamped. I have this due and that due and and and and....( and yes, there were I'm sorry's thrown in!)" I get it, don't get me wrong, I get it. The problem for those of you like me is this; now what? Will I make it to the gym tonight? Will I make it to work at all? Swimming tonight is cancelled due to weather, so my fingers are crossed I can at least hit the gym for my lower body work out. It's all about balance, and I suppose we are only as strong as our weakest spoke on the wheel of balance is. (Like the wellness wheel!) My goal this week is to identify my weakest spoke and start rebuilding it. It's a start, right?
In other news, shoveling the driveway was a great upper body work out. This snow is crazy heavy and wet. Also, lifting big heavy balls made from wet heavy snow is a great work out! =)
Tomorrow I can only hope routine returns. Swimming Wednesday? I have hope.
Inside all of us is HOPE!
