Life as we know it...In Maintenence!

Today was a whirlwind. On Wednesday's and Thursday's I really feel like we are running around like crazy ladies. These days are always busy, and also our long days at Innovative. So it is most important for my food to be prepared on these days because otherwise if I am faced with a bad choice I may make it due to the "time" factor. Although, I say time is never an excuse, but preparation is. So do I ever eat my own words? YES! Do I try my best not to? YES! I work in an environment where there are ALWAYS goodies in the break room. I am sure you all can relate. I find myself tempted, and that is when I have to shut the door to my office and work, or if it is my lunch I like to run to the gym and hit a class or I go see my Brodie boy. We have to give ourselves choices and I like to have them impact my life in a positive way versus a negative. Recently I had a client ask me if I ever get mad or have a bad day. I paused, and my mind was spinning because Yes, yes I do. Not very often, but it is life. Sometimes it throws us a curve ball or two. Do I bring it to work? No. I love my job, the people I work with, and the inspiration that my clients give to me help me to keep on keepin' on. So as I post my menu for today I hope you all see that I am human, a mom, a girlfriend and importantly YOUR cheerleader! Today I had exactly what I had yesterday with a few exceptions due to what I had prepared in my fridge. I don't mind it as long as my belly is full. Sometimes I become a creature of habit. I also LOVE left overs and that is something Chad never eats so I usually take full advantage of them! And if it allows me more play time with my Little's then I will take it! :)
