Freedom

Wake up: 6:50 am
Slept for: Not sure what time I fell asleep.
First thought is: Must get up, work for an hour and must, must, must go to the gym.
Baby is: Rolling over, holding things, reaching for things, making cause and effect connections.
This is: Exciting. I am loving watching him come alive—and being present to it.
Daughter is: Watching her shows.
This is: Good, bad. I dunno. Kids love shows, right?
Man is: On edge.
This is: Ending soon, I hope.
Goal for the day: Get back on track. I didn't go to the gym for days and not having that anchor lampooned me into the stratosphere of wanton eating and thinking.
Kabbalah says: "Today, focus on what you really want from all of the things you're filling your life with right now. If you don't know why you busy ourselves with your spiritual work, your friends, or your careers, you can never expect to see the results you wanted when you first started out."
Arrive at gym: 8 am
Workout is: Not so great. I was not into it. I am tired and unmotivated—but I went it and I went through the motions. I know how I operate. Tomorrow I'll be more into it and then by the weekend, I'll be back with gusto.
Today's song is: Freedom by George Michael
Best lyric is: Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didn't know what I wanted to be
I want: Someone to make me an egg white omelet. I guess that's called a restaurant. Getting out of the house with two kids would mean an egg white omelet for lunch at this point.
I love: John Galliano.
I wish: We were friends.
I am totally, majorly obsessing over:
Being a mom means:
Being a wife means:
Being a business owner means:
Out of the mouths of babes:
Today I ate: Egg whites, 1/2 avocado and salsa for breakfast, mango for snack, chicken soup for lunch + will eat salad and sushi for dinner. Oh, and a protein bar and a few chips. Why? Why did I do the chips?
Today I drank: Some water. Not enough.
Work was: I've been working on the same article since 10. It just won't flow—that and I've had to do other work in the interim.
Today I learned: Just when you think you know something, you realize that you're just scratching the surface of it.
I am: Full. The late afternoon need for feeding frenzy hasn't set in. I think the protein bar helped. It was a much better day today with regard to everything: outlook, mood, energy level, self-control, drive. I attribute it directly to working out. People, you have to get moving!
Tomorrow I will: Welcome the next lesson.

Set Adrift on Memory Bliss

Wake up: 7
Slept for: I really don't know
First thought is: I should just go to the gym now.
Baby is: Almost saying a word or two. I swear.
This is: Bizarre—though Shawn's mom contends that he spoke at 5 months.
Daughter was: Quite a song writer. I've started to write them down for her. Is there a market for toddler singers who pen their own tunes?
This is: Creepy or cool?
Man is: Patient.
This is: Teaching me how to be patient myself. It is a virtue.
Emails to check: I forget now, but not that many.
Goal for the day: Not to eat crap food just because I'm bored.
Kabbalah says: " The problem of argument is not who is right or who is wrong — it is that you think that you are right and someone else is wrong! Be open to another point of view today, even when you are 100% right."
First bananas thought: What would happen if I only ate Tasti D Lite?
Arrive at gym: Nope.
Today's song is: Set Adrift on Memory Bliss by PM Dawn
Best lyric is: She's just one of those corners in my mind
Best spam subject line: Tame your unicorn
I want: A new wardrobe.
I love: Flowy Ikat dresses.
I wish: I were Lauren Conrad—just the blown out hair and going out at night parts.
I am totally, majorly obsessing over: LA
Being a mom means: Rising to the challenge.
Being a wife means: Rising to the challenge.
Being a business owner means: Rising to the challenge.
Out of the mouths of babes: I am the princess and you are the dungeon.
Today I ate: Crap.
Today I drank: Water.
Work was: Medium.
Today I learned: A stitch in time saves nine.
I am: Big on cliches.
Tomorrow I will: Figure it out.
