the past three weeks

have been crazy at work. the past three weeks in my new "role" filled with 10-12 hour days of nonstop of writing, meetings, personnel issues, budget cuts and deadlines. in btw, i've had some wonderful weekends. two weekends ago, we had a fabulous time in vegas with our best friends and spectacular food. last weekend i had a wonderful time with my best friend seeing wicked and having wonderful wine and tapas and a good quality time with the respective families for easter.

because of work and fighting a respiratory cold for the past week, my workouts have halted to nonexistence. what i decided today is that i am going to take control over my work, stress and health. already, i've been pretty good this week with the diet. most of the stress i'm experiencing is self-imposed - work, tasks can all be delegated and negotiated. why am i putting so much pressure on myself for trying to have all the answers or feeling like i need to have lunch made in the mornings? does my husband expect it? nope. workwise, why do i feel like i have to kowtow to people here by offering impossible internal deadlines? those deadlines are self-imposed. that on top of the other ones have been breaking my back and causing me to miss my workouts at night. tonight, i decided that i'm out of here a quarter till five to make it to a yoga (i have a free week at yogaworks for taking a survey).

one thing to be super thankful for. i lost billy last night to plain stupidity on my part (stepping on his leash) and after a half hour of frantic searching dave and i tag-teamed by car and foot to find him. thank goodness billy's been a little out of shape. i love my little family.
