Balancing Act


Okay let's take a look at a typical day now...
4:30 AM

4:30-5 AM
Work Out (I'm lucky if I get a 1/2 hour workout in which makes me sad)
5-6 AM
Shower & get ready for work
6-6:30 AM
Pick up the house a little and make sure meals are ready for family & me
6:30-7 AM
Commute

Work at the MOST fabulous job (other than being a mommy that is)
3-3:30 PM
Commute
3:30-8:30 PM
Play Play Play
Make dinner
Bath time & Bedtime
8:30-10:30PM
Hangout with Hubby & watch the Yankees game of the day :)
10:30 PM -4:30 AM
SLEEP!!!

Now I understand that people have WAY more difficult lives and I feel HONORED to have my life and have the opportunity to do the things I do. Let me make it VERY CLEAR I am NOT complaining. I LOVE my life. But WOWZA!

Finding time to workout (because let's face it sometimes I hit the snooze button unconsciously) is VERY difficult! Eating well is hard too. There is a cafeteria (I am a sucker for cafeteria food-weird right?) where I work and sometimes my 'cold lunch' doesn't always sound as good and the soup of the day or amazing magic bar that is calling out to me! Then for some reason when I get home I'm in MAJOR snack mode!

Needless to say I have a bit more adjusting to do. :) If you have any tips for me lay em on me!

PS I need some good ON-THE-GO breakfast ideas.

  1. Oh my goodness, Suzi! I look up to you so much for doing all of this! What a busy, busy mom you are!
    As far as on-the-go breakfast ideas, I would probably do some type of protein bar & a piece of fruit? That's pretty boring, though... sorry.

  3. You are crazy & incredible! Love it! I hope you can keep up the great work on getting adjusted. You inspire me. As for ideas, I love dried fruits and such... Winco has really great bulk prices and you can make your own "trail mix" out of them, just be sure to incorporate sugars and proteins in order to meet your immediate craving and sustain you for longer.
