Spring Break is here! Finally! I know some parents dread the long vacations at home with the kids but I love it. I love staying in my jammies and not getting up at 5:30am. The kids being home means I will have to find a new time to get my running finished. I usually run during the day before I pick up baby boy from his half day preschool. Looks like I will have to hit the gym at night before Zumba which kills my knees. *sigh* Oh well at least these eyes don’t have to see the o’ungodly time of 5:30am this week!
The 2 week challenge is over and I could not be happier! No offense Mark! I enjoy the workouts but doing those on top of training for the 5K and Zumba my body has not been too happy with me. Like I said on Twitter, I think he owes us all a spa day! Congratulations to all my fellow sistas who completed the challenge with me. I need to take my measurements but I do know I lost another 1lb this past week 🙂
Mamavation TV this week is about finding balance in our lives. I try to find balance with my blogging by working like a dog while my children are at school or napping. If they have a class party or field trip then I will stay up and work at night. I find my balance by knowing my priorities and sticking to them!
How do you find balance in your life?

March 25, 2013 at 8:16 amI agree that 2 week challenge really kicked butt the past 2 weeks. We are on intercession for 2 kids but our official spring break starts Friday when I’ll have all 3 boys home. I am looking forward to it. I’m hoping the weather will cooperate and maybe we can go camping but I seriously doubt it…

Balance is a difficult one for me, still trying to get it all worked out. Sometimes it feels like every time I get it figured out, something changes!

March 25, 2013 at 2:37 pmI think we have all been there. Or everything is going well and bam a wrench in the works! Just stay positive and you will get over those hurdles too 🙂

March 25, 2013 at 4:35 pmGlad you can ease off this week and focus on the movement that seems to be more of a priority. For me balance is about adaptive management based on the present.
