Back On Track

Its Monday again!! I'm happy to report that I am back to my Weekly Wishes post! I missed last week because I was enjoying my long weekend way too much to sit down at a computer. But alas... I have returned to my normally scheduled programming :) I had a very full busy weekend and I will talk more about that tomorrow... Today is all about my Weekly Wishes though!

This week is all about balance for me. I have a ton going on right now and very little time to do it. It always seems that everything happens at once right? I can't complain though because they are all awesome things! For example it is Sunday night right now and I am writing this post from here:

This is the very warm SoCal beach at night. I am seriously the luckiest person to have access to this every day. I still can't get over it! 

Ok anyways back to business. This week there is a lot going on and keeping my sanity is a must. Planning is the KEY to making all of it happen without becoming too overwhelmed. I plan to:

1- Schedule my workouts so that I know I have time for them. My health is a priority for me right now so I can't let busyness get in the way of that! Get it in where it fits in! This week is all about the body weight training and logging in some miles running. Im praying it COOLS OFF here this week. I am a grumpy runner in the heat. But a very happy one when it cools down :) 

I always have to remember this one!

2- Reading the bible and alone time with God is a must for me every week. Without it I feel off track, lost, anxious and a whole host of other things. So when my life gets busy I HAVE to make time for this or everything else goes out the window! 

3- I've been experimenting with new recipes each week and I want to keep that going this week! I tried a great dish tonight that I can't wait to share with you this week! I love adding new healthy foods in to my meal rotation. It keeps it fun and I don't get bored with anything! 

4- I really want to spend this week being "present" with people. I am seeing a lot of friends this week and I want to make sure that they have my full attention while I'm with each of them. It's so easy to get caught up in your thoughts or agendas or thinking about the next "to-do" item on your list. But quality time with people is what we are going to remember in the long run. How we were there to support them and love them. How they made time for us and the great conversations we had. So this week I'm going to try to put aside the rush and the worry about getting to bed on time and just enjoy people! I think I really have room to grow in this area. 

How do you keep from getting overwhelmed? Do you have any new fun recipes to share!?
