GFTW 37: I'm Back in My Heaven
I don't know how y'all do it out there with full time jobs. I swear this past week threw a serious monkey wrench in my best laid plans for the week. I ended up working 4 full days (vs. one), and I was just pooped and missed my kids by the end of each day. So those planned threshold runs for after work, got trumped for kid and couch time. Each day I kept thinking how DO all you moms (and dads) out there manage a full time job, train for crazy distance races, have 2-6 kids to feed, AND then manage a blog? How do you do it??? dang.
Well, this week I'm back in my lil' slice of heaven, where my job is a SAHM, training, writing, reading all your juicy blogs, and throwing in a day or two of 'paid' work. I know this isn't how it'll always be, and I wanna enjoy the ride.
And speaking of enjoying the ride, here are my best laid Goals for the Week:
Athlete: Put pedals back on my tri bike, and start using my HR monitor to train for my upcoming Tri Girl Tri Triathlon in 4 weeks. It's been a great ride with my road bike, but need to switch it up for the race.
Friend: Reach out to 1 different friend each day, with either an email, phone call or text.
Health: Research Kaiser and one other health insurance possibility. Our current policy is good, but it just keeps getting ridiculously expensive! I need to be proactive so will commit 2 x's this week to research the options.(i think this topic warrants a post!)
Personal Growth: Carve out 2x's this week to revisit and revise my ideas about my life ~10 yrs from now (2020) Revisit that time-10 yrs from now, and brainstorm all the things I see myself being in 2020.
As always, I write these goals on a bookmark I keep in my organizer and attempt to review it each morning as I chug my cafe. That's what's laid out for me so far this week. Now, I'd LOVE to know what you've got in your books? Talk to me, talk to me!

Gosh, I can't even imagine where I would see myself in 10 years. Actually it would be interesting to write some ideas down and see how it goes.
Have a more relaxing week.
Great goals! Have a fabulous week.
I didn't work after my twinsies were born for a couple years and I enjoyed every second of it. Now that my kids are older, working full-time still isn't easy because I do miss out on a lot they do...and I'm just wiped out when I get off work. But you do adjust. Like I should have been in bed an hour ago instead of reading blogs. Ha.
Have a great week!!
I'm going to have a go at hashing out my own GFTW today, but I'm definitely on board with the friend goal. I've been terrible recently. Bad Alison..
Enjoy your time with your bike and your kids this week! :)
I hope you have a great week!
