It's officially winter here in Boston - we got 5-6" of snow on Saturday in the city. I'm actually embracing the snow so far (probably because we haven't really had a significant amount). The winter weather gives me a reason to stay indoors, whether I choose to be productive or lazy is my choice and both are equally warranted when it is wet and cold outside.
My life since January 2nd has been very much the same day in and day out.
Eat, work, eat, study, workout, eat, sleep.
In that exact order almost every.single.day.
Work's been busy, I'm taking the CPA exam (again - another post for another day), and I've really jumped in to crossfit/paleo lifestyle which I mentioned a couple weeks ago. And that's me in a nutshell these days!
I can view this cycle as boring and mundane or I can look at it on the flip side....an extremely productive and structured couple of weeks...in preparation for the busy/chaotic months ahead.
Weekend Scenario #1: Snow
my initial reaction...
snow?...where are my boots again?...going to be 15minutes late to work...sweet.
on the flip side:
I get to use my handy dandy (warm) ice scraper that I got for Christmas (was given 3 in total)!
(this pic was taken a day before the bigger storm)
Weekend Scenario #2: Paleo
my initial reaction:
blah.....more veggies...thanks paleo..this is NOT awesome.
on the flip side:
Paul discovering (and cooking for me) awesome new versions of veggies...
(grated cauliflower = rice! & Spaghetti Squash = you guessed it...spaghetti!)
Weekend Scenario #3: Studying
my initial reaction:
die.
on the flip side:
studying = STARBUCKS date with Laura (who's also studying) :)
Weekend Scenario #4: absolutely no plans
my initial reaction:
helps us save money...but are Paul and I becoming lame????
on the flip side:
We were available to watch our friends golden retriever Stella for the weekend!
Let me just make this clear... this is all in hindsight.....I had probably 3 or 4 mini-meltdowns over the weekend...I choose to blame it on the diet/new lifestyle...Paul chooses to explain that my mood swings are probably related to the "non-paleo" cookie I secretly shoved in my mouth while standing in the pantry...resulting in a sugar high and then a sugar CRASH. He's probably right...which is annoying.
Anywho...the patriots won last night and work is slowing back down to normal! Hopefully that means I will get a couple posts in during the week...
Happy freaking Monday. hahaha. :)
