Today was the first day of the new normal routine. Finn's in a new school, Kieran's back to his school, and the hippie and I went back to work on something resembling a normal schedule. I got some bad news today--my Aunt Gail passed away. She's been sick a long time, but it's still so very sad. That means that the new normal routine is likely to be thrown for a loop if I need to leave town this week for a funeral, which is almost certainly in the cards. That's just life, right? Adaptability is key.
We've been going to the gym as a family on Monday nights for a while now--the kids get some playtime in the kids center, Jason does his weight routine, and I go to yoga. Jason decided to skip that for a couple of weeks, given the madness that new years resolutions always brings to the gym, so the boys and I went without him. This means we're late eating dinner and getting them to bed, so we often stop for takeout for them on the way home so they can eat the minute we walk in the door. It was all good for me eating healthy today until Kieran didn't finish his dinner--and then I finished it. Granted, I was starving, but that quarter of a Chick-Fil-A chicken sandwich, and the handful of fries I ate was probably not my best choice ever. What a calorie bomb! I think there's crack in whatever batter they put on that fried chicken... The yoga class, I will add, was AMAZING. All that stretching felt really good after a break, and man, is that ever the right way to ease back into working out!
I got lucky today at work--my friend Sonya was in the office and went walking with me! Given her presence and the cold, we went pretty fast around the trail, too. I wish she was around more often for that, especially because she's a happy, upbeat person--it's nice to get a) company, and b) a dose of positivity like that in the middle of the day. To finish steps, I took a page from my mother's book, and walked back and forth in the house while entering my food into MyFitnessPal, and then while talking to my brother on the phone. Before I knew it, I had walked over 12 thousand steps, which is awesome for me. I hope I can keep up with these trends.
