So what?

Sometimes you are the windshield and sometimes you are the bug - Mary Chapin Carpenter

You know those weeks when you meet your workout goals and you eat super yummy and healthy, yeah, that was not me this week. I have not worked out since my big workout on Saturday. And, well, I did not give much thought to what I was eating this week.

I gave a bit more thought to what my girls ate but, really not much more. So, how do I feel about my give up week? Not as guilty as you would think.

The girls got to have their favorite treat meal this week. Taco Bell quesadilla with rice and beans. Um, they had an apple for dessert. Did they get this on Friday as a special treat? No. no. It was just a mommy is exhausted on Thursday dinner. And, tonight was a total give up. Dinner at the cafe around the corner. The girls barely ate. So, they snacked on whole grain crackers and bananas at home tonight.

Some days my meals are colorful, well rounded, and yummy. Some days I am getting by.

I'm ok with that in the long run. Tomorrow is a produce pick up day. I have no doubt that 30 pounds of organic produce and a trip to the farmers market for meat will get me out of this funk.

Life is about balance. Sometimes it's just about finding the way back to that balance.
