Feeling...improved.

I took a week off from the gym and today will be my first day back to the old routine. It wasn't easy to take that time off, but it's given my mind a well needed break.

Thanks for the advice last week. I did schedule a lunch date with my husband and it was a great break. He and I agreed we will keep this up maybe every other week. It was wonderful to get out and enjoy a meal without having to remind a child to sit still, eat, etc. He's an amazing person.

For Lent, my son gave up candy and pop. I thought that was a pretty lofty goal so I said I would do the same. Not that I have a problem with candy (well...OK I do love chocolate!), but I enjoy a pop or two a week. However, I have to say that my son's discipline is inspiring and it keeps me on point, too. Twice I have witnessed him (withOUT my prompting) decline pop and opt for water...even at a birthday party! That's a lot of maturity for a 7 year old! So, this week when a co-worker brought in Snicker topped cupcakes, it made it easy to resist as I've witnessed willpower in action...from a 7 year old.

Balance is slowly working it's way back into my life. Work is manageable...but I'm so proud of my team for putting in their extra efforts through all of the turnover and with being 2 short of staff.

Yep...feeling improved.

I'm so glad you're feeling a little better. I'm amazed that your son has that much will power at 7! I need to follow that path too. :)
