first work week of 2009

and its not easy getting back into the swing of things

especially when my to-do list is still fairly short which makes me highly unmotivated

add in the fact that this is my first 5 day week in what feels like a very long time

and its just not easy

but its already thursday

and with our flight to jamaica on the calendar for 2 weeks from saturday

there is a hot sunny light

at the end of this cold, windy, wintery tunnel

progress report- cultivating for the week

fitness: workouts have been going really well this week

mon: legs tues: zumba & abs wed: zumba & abs thurs: break fri: arms

need to keep on point with eating a little better, more variety of veggies

but i am eating more whole foods, more veggies and less processed stuff this week

so i am on track just want to push a little harder before bikini week

photography: i haven't taken a single photo this week, but i have used my internet skills

to find a photography workshop at the New England Institute for Photography

the classes are full for the winter, but the next sessions starts in March

so Mom and I are going to look into that when the time comes

relationships: krissy and willy are coming over for dinner tonight

our usual thursday night thing so its not like i had to go too far out of my way

but there are always reasons why its just too much or too hard to get together

so i'm especially glad they're coming over

green tip of the day: reuse

today i wanted to package up a little bag of kettlecorn to bring to work for my snack

i was out of ziploc baggies and i seem to have given away all of my small tupperware

type containers which i'd prefer to use since you can wash and reuse

but i found a better alternative that worked for me today

i'd been saving the bags that my english muffins come in

a quick rinse, or if you're lazy like me, just flip them inside out

fill with the snack of your choice

and they're plenty long enough to tie in a knot

one more use for that plastic bag makes me feel better :)
