All of this wonderful family time meant that I didn't really pay attention to my work outs or my diet. I ate when I was hungry, I drank when I was thirsty and I slept when I was tired. Having the time to consider my own feelings and desires from hour to hour was pure heaven. So, I would say that this was the healthiest week I have had in a long time even though I didn't "stick to the program". It was healthy because I sang my own song and let everything else lie silent.
The "I Did It" List
took long casual walks
slept in
drank green juice some mornings and others, coffee
had a date with my husband
went to a birthday party and drank a Manhattan before finishing the night with champagne
finished a book (this rarely happens in my life)
went on a dinner date with my 5-year-old - just him and me

Perfect.
Hello Sarah,
I have recently stumbled over your other blog thanks to your post on Morocco while I was in search of home decor inspiration. I admire your efforts towards healthier You and the results you have achieved, admire your attitude towards your family and every-day life. I wish I could find stronger words to express myself to you! And thank you for the inspiration I draw from both your blogs :)
I also have a practical question (and I hope it's not too personal...): who looks after your kids when you are out on a run, or training? You mentioned your trainer - does she come in? I mean, how do you make (I am deliberately omitting "find") the time to do sports, having 2 little kids and a house to run?
And I apologize upfront if you find my question too personal or offensive!!
Jouena - thank you for your comment! I'm so pleased you found me here and that you find my blog inspiring and thoughtful. I so appreciate it.
As for my exercise regimen - when I am at home in Dallas working out at Positively Fit Lake Highlands, I take advantage of the child care co-op. This is a program that the trainer / owner implemented so that her clients could have free child care. Each client who uses the co-op provides child care every once in a while and we all take turns watching the kids. The trainer / owner then gives us one free class in exchange for watching kids in the co-op. It's a great system!
Sarah
