Ups and Downs....Love All Around!

Taking a time out for me every now and then is OKAY. I will be spending an entire day in the spa real soon. How does a body polisher, moisturizer, wrap, massage, and facial sound? I am so looking forward to being pampered and taking some quiet time for myself. It really rejuvenates the mind and soul.

This summer has been busy for my husband, kids and me! My husband has a great, new job and does not travel anymore. My kids are in and out of summer camps, but doing quite well. I am just working hard and hoping to keep my job over the long haul. There is much turmoil in my industry right now and big changes come daily. In regard to my career/job, I just focus on the "controllables" and save as much money as possible. I also have a plan "B" and plan "C" in case I get "down-sized" or "layed-off". The key is keeping a great attitude and not letting anything interfere with the DD (aka direct deposit).

Okay...now for diet and exercise! Well for one thing the emphasis of off "DIET" and "EXERCISE" and one being healthy and moving. My husband walks me about 4 times a week in the morning. Since it is summer, we can get up early before the kids even get up and walk the neighborhood at 6 AM. We cover about 2 - 3 miles before work and have about 30-45 minutes of good conversation. It is a great way for us to connect and get our days off to a fantastic start! Some mornings I still have time to pop in a 30 minute pilates or yoga video also before I get ready for work.

Good eating is still a staple in our lives too! I have been eating breakfast which allows me NOT to overeat at lunch. My snacks in the car remain to be carrots, raw almonds (10), an apple, or I stop for a yogurt parfait at McDonalds. Dinners at home are still much healthier since REAL LIFE HEALTHY LIFE and incorporate salads and roasted veggies nightly. My family has backed off of bread at dinner time, but my husband and kids really do enjoy ice cream for dessert.

Well, that is about it! I do have pictures, however, I am on my laptop and not on my desktop, so I can't get them on the blog. I promise to update soon.

I have been doing better, but this week has been hard. It was the one year anniversary of my mother's death which saddened me deeply. Can't believe she has been gone a year. I can honestly say I thought about her at least once everyday last year and missed her terribly. I know I was blessed to have such a wonderful woman in my life!

Peace and love,

Julie
