Let's go jogging!

On my days off this week, I was able to spend time with my 3 month old granddaughter. This is priceless! I had to change her into this adorable jogging suit I bought for her. Photo opportunity.....

Phoenix - 3 months

Now my vacation is about to end and its back to reality in the morning. I can only imagine how many emails will be waiting on me.

I hope my desk doesn't look like this.....

  It was a nice break and I feel very relaxed now. Going back on Friday has its advantages. I can work one day and then its the weekend! It feels good to be refreshed after a few days off.

Time to relax, refresh and renew

I've been working around the clock for about 2 weeks now, so I'm taking 3 much needed days off. I was instructed by my boss that I was not allowed to take my work laptop home. I'm glad she said that because she knows I would end up working at home, even if only to check emails. She is right.

Me and my girls!

My plans today are to get my hair done, go out to lunch with my husband and spend time with my daughters and granddaughter tonight. Sounds like a perfect day to me.

Phoenix is 3 months old now!

Tomorrow morning, I have an appointment for a massage at my gym and plan on working out before that. It's been several months since I've had a massage, so I decided to treat myself to one using some of my leftover Christmas cash. I think its very convenient to have a massage company on site with my gym.
Epiphany Health - I'm looking forward to visiting you!

So here's to getting the family/work life balance back! I'm concentrating on ME for the next few days.

2011 is coming to a close

It's hard to believe that the year is almost over. This time of year always has me thinking about goals for the next year. I'm proud of myself that for most of 2011, I stayed on track for my fitness and health goals. I've had a few setbacks, but overall I have continued to push myself to healthy living.

My goals for 2012 are similar to those for this year. I want to continue running and complete longer races than a 5k. I am thinking about a 10k or 15k. I've been searching my area for races and hope to sign up for one soon.

I also want to stick to my healthy eating plan for next year. I am working on eating as much unprocessed foods as possible and continue trying organic foods. I am trying to keep my cholesterol and blood pressure in the normal levels and will be mindful of these things.

Finally, I want to work on the family/work balance. Sometimes work consumes me and even though I enjoy my job, I hope to spend more time with my family.

Have a Merry Christmas!
