running around
between the gym, work and making healthy food i feel like i've been constantly on the go lately.
work's been crazy busy. in addition to my usual writing at work, i've been working on a pitch, attending a ton of meetings, and had a lot of managerial tasks that i've had to deal with. i don't mind them but it's difficult to make the time to do the tasks well when i'm so busy. and i don't feel like i'm writing as well as usual or being the best creative partner lately. i'm just being pulled in too many directions.
the gym's been the only fun thing i've been doing lately. it's getting more fun as i've been getting more fit. my running is getting much better -- i can run faster for longer -- and i'm lifting more weight, doing more pushups, dips, squats, and all those other fun exercises. henry isn't laughing at me so much either. going to the gym's been making me feel happier a lot and less stressed.
last night i was talking to my boss about all the stuff i've been doing to get healthier. she is amazed i can find the time. i told her it's just a matter of being organzed, making lunch and breakfast ahead, cutting up veggies and planning dinners.
already today, i have cleaned veggies, made a week's worth of stone cut oats and roasted beets and it's only 10:15 am. we'll go and run at 11 and then come back, shower and get on with the rest of the day. it's better than getting up at 5:30 and going straight to the gym! i'm going to work some this afternoon on managerial stuff after we run around an do a few errands.
the husband's taking me out on a date tonight too. we're going to a restaurant that we used to go to pretty frequently when we lived near it. i hope it's still as good as it was. they used to have great oysters and California wines that were hard to get elsewhere in Ontario.
but we can't stay out too late. tomorrow (sunday) i'm speaking at mohawk college for an advertising seminar for first year students. i need to get all my stuff ready for it today. i'm mostly prepared, but i want to make sure to run through my presentation and get my personal portfolio stuff ready for it. i've spoken at mohawk before and the students really seem to enjoy having people from the industry come to visit them. should be fun.
of course, with valentine's day on tuesday, i'm going to do a little bit of baking tomorrow also. i'll save the decorating for monday night after work but i find that if i break up the baking and the decorating, it is more relaxing.
so yes, it's going to be another very busy couple of days...no rest for the wicked, i guess.
