Day 118

Today was such a long and busy day, yet it went by rather quickly. It is hard to think it is only Monday. I decided today to make a smart choice plan and be conscious regarding everything that I put in my mouth. I was teasing with a student that as mom's for as much running around as we do you would think we would be 30 lbs lighter. After being gone from home for 11 hours, and then I get home, I don't think I sit down until around 8 or 8:30 at night and by then I am ready to fall into bed exhausted at the thought of getting back up in 6 hours to start all over again. Last night I actually got 8 hours of sleep (not uninterrupted but 8 hours) I woke at about 2:15 ready for my day, I probably should have gotten up and got some things done, but it was 2:15AM! So of course I went back to sleep and awoke at 4:30 tired and very groggy, which seemed to be the pace of my day, I even went to the gym at lunch and still never felt that I gained an ounce of energy in my whole day. It is now 8:15 and I am not sure how much I will be able to do before I go to bed. Hopefully this week is full of accomplishment and success. I guess I started out right, I watched everything and wrote down what I consumed, I did 40 minutes of cardio and I reflected on my way to and from work.
I am going to continue to work towards my goals and allow every day to unfold in a positive note and continue to be the best that I can.
Over the weekend a friend of mine lost a close family friend to a hit and run accident, this women was like an aunt to her and in her 40's. It is amazing to me that in a blink of an eye how the world can change.

I will leave you with one of my recent favorite song lyrics: Revive sings BLINK

Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink (x2)

Teach me to number my days
And count every moment before it slips away
Taking all the colors before they fade to gray
I don't want to miss even just a second more of this

It happens in a blink
It happens in a flash
It happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight, but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink (x4)

Slow down, slow down
Before today becomes our yesterday
Slow down, slow down
Before you turn around and it's too late

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink

It happens in a blink
it happens in a flash
it happens in the time it takes to look back
I try to hold on tight but there's no stopping time
What is it I've done with my life
It happens in a blink (x4)
