The good, the bad, the ugly... work life "balance"

Okay. So this is hard. It is so hard to stick to the goals you make for yourself. But it's week one, so I'm gonna look at it as a glass half-full situation.

The Bad:

Monday and Tuesday - didn't exercise. Had a work function Monday night (jays game, not complaining) and worked a 13 hour day yesterday so it just wasn't going to happen. It was possible, but I didn't push myself to do it.

The Ugly:

With the long hours and little time to prepare meals, work stress, and ALL the free food around me at work and work cocktails/ball game.... I had NO will power. All my goals for nutrition were an epic fail. 

Gonna be honest with myself and with you guys, I've had:

- cup cakes

- sugary granola bars

- 3 glasses of wine monday, 1 tuesday

- a slice of pizza 

- hors d'œuvres galore

It was not easy to admit that, but it's true. I know my run tonight was not enough to burn all that off... so I'm gonna have to have more will power! Even if all the food/booze are free and easily available!

The Good:

Okay! Now for the glass half-full. I finally did it! I went for a run on a Wednesday night. A work night. I was tired and feeling lazy, but I checked our blog and got inspired. Went for a 7km run and now I feel great.

THIS IS WORKING!

Yay! Let's keep it going! I hope this is working for you guys. I'm checking back frequently and can't wait to read about how you're doing. Let me know! Blog blog blog away.
