It’s vacation week here in Massachusetts so this week is all about creativity…. being creative with keeping the kids occupied so they don’t live on all sorts of various digital devices 24/7… and being creative with getting my workouts in.
We’ve been bowling, played all sorts of games, read books, watched movies, enjoyed this crazy mild weather and yesterday J took them for a day of skiing and snowboarding! And yes there has been some video-gaming time logged.

I’ve managed to get in some strength-training, speedwork at the track and a pilates class so far! I hope to sneak a short run in tomorrow before J leaves for work and then my usual long run Saturday. My mileage will definitely be down for this week but I’m okay with that.
And, once again I’ve signed up for another of the Chopra Center’s 21-day Meditation Challenges. I’ve mentioned before how much more centered and calm I feel when I meditate. So why have I stopped? Because schedules get crazy so I let it slide a day or two and then bam! Fell off the wagon again. The timing of this challenge was perfect as it started on Monday – perhaps Deepak knew I was facing vacation week 🙂 I’m on day 4 and hope to stay on the wagon well beyond day 21!
So far so good this week – we’ve avoided major meltdowns, my boys are enjoying each other’s company and my sanity’s still in tact – a win all around!
How’s your week going?
YAY sanity!
YAY snow!
YAY vacation week!!
Enjoy!!!!
Sure doesn’t look like his first time! He looks really comfortable out there. FUN!
I think it’s great that N.E. gets a winter break like that! We have a small one around Prez. Day weekend, but then spring break isn’t until April, at which point I’m happy to stay home and enjoy spring. Good going with all the activities and still getting your training in!
I’m super stressed and always wanted to learn to meditate. Thanks for sharing the link. I will try this challenge! 🙂
