I got completely derailed this week.
I was all gung-ho on the weekend and on Monday (which explains the laundry, the sheets, and the buckets), but Monday night my 6 year old got sick. Which meant of course that I was up for hours in the middle of the night. Tuesday, I felt a little off, Wednesday I had a sore throat and a head cold, and by Thursday I told the hubs I couldn’t get out of bed. He promptly brought me tea and lemon pound cake and gave me the day to hole up in bed.
Just when a gal thinks she’s got it together, snot intervenes.
Here is my pitiful recap:
Personal:
Read the bible every day
Read Event Planning: The Ultimate Guide To Successful Meetings, Corporate Events, Fundraising Galas, Conferences, Conventions, Incentives and Other Special Events (read through the parts that are relevant to what I’m doing)
Shower every other day (I can’t wash my hair everyday because it’s crazy hair. Also, I hate showering.) Yea, this didn’t happen, I was laid up in bed.
Drink coffee black – I’ve decided to cut out cream and suger instead of coffee – one cup in the morning if I get up early I was sick and indulged in three mochas. But before I got sick I had coffee with just a pinch of almond milk.
Get up at 6am (Lord, help me) Monday through Friday – I’m setting my coffee maker to grind the beans and brew the coffee at 5:15am hoping the smell will woo me out of bed. I’m also setting my alarm on my dresser. I did this the first few days, and then…yep, got sick
Exercise for 20 minutes each morning Monday through Friday Again, sickness derailed this. I worked out Monday morning, that’s it.
Work towards having more energy – start by reading Energy Explosion – A 7 Day Guide to Jump Start Your Energy, taking my vitamins every day, and getting seven hours of sleep each night I started Energy Explosion, I took my vitamins every night, but seven hours of sleep? Nope, I was up with my sick daughter three nights in a row.
