Chaos

I am a girl who likes to have a plan. Without a plan I feel unmoored and out of control. This week was complete and utter chaos. It started out innocently enough with some margaritas on Monday. Fast-forward to today. It is Sunday, around 7pm and I have taken to my bed with a vodka and pineapple drink and Mary J. Blige in heavy rotation.

Knowing that I like order, I need to make sure that when I get up out of this bed, I have a plan of action. To that end, I am going to make a list of my goals for the week. Having goals in place will help me plan for my week. This week I am going to do the following:

1. Get more sleep- lately I've been slipping on that front and I can feel it.

2. Make sure I have a plan for dinner (in other words, either cook or have things prepped so I can throw a meal together and call it a day)

3. Get to the gym at least 3 times this week. I wasn't in anybody's gym this week and my body is not pleased.

4. Take some quiet time just for me each day this week. I find it very hard to just sit still and I find that I end up expending energy when I just need to be still.

I have to say that even though I slid of the rails a bit this week, I still continued to take the stairs at work and got all of my water in each day. This journey is about admitting our shortcomings, but giving ourselves credit, where credit is due. We have been too hard on ourselves for too long and we have be okay with living in the grey areas instead of things always being black or white.

Okay, I now have my marching orders. I am going to stay in my bed and finish my drink, maybe take a wee nap, and then arise refreshed, renewed, and ready to face the week. This week will be better than last week because I will be armed with a plan and a positive attitude...or at least a plan :).
