Love/Hate

I LOVE/hate being so busy. It’s a good thing when you’re a small business owner, right? Not so much a great thing when you're supposed to be on maternity leave cuddling up with W for another 6 months...

Here’s hoping that things will seem less overwhelming soon...

Normally, this is a VERY slow time of year, but not for me! I’m working on that great in-fill project, as well as a re-reno (a kitchen/family room project I worked on about year ago flooded and needs to be gutted and redone - so terrible for the clients...), a really hip living and dining room, as well as a few bathrooms, and some staging...

*sigh*

Did I mention that I am supposed to start teaching again in April!!!???

Really, this is what Mod Ethel means...

Every fibre of my “Ethel” wants to be at home with my kids. I just want to love and cuddle them, teach them, clean the house, cook and bake for my family (not that I’m a good cook or baker.....but maybe I could be if I had the time....)...

Then there’s “Mod”... the driven, ambitious, hardworking entrepreneur that wants to win every design award there is, wear power suits, drive the luxury car, have my own tv show, and all this by getting as many clients as possible...

I have to admit it’s a pretty close race.

TRX

I signed up for TRX training! They were setting it up at my gym when I asked the girl at the front desk about it! I was lucky enough to be able to speak with the TRX instructor and I immediately signed up for a demo...I’ll be honest – after the demo, I was sore for almost a week. There were muscles engaged that I don’t think had ever been used before!!! I start on the on the 8^th of February so I’ll definitely report back (if I’m able to lift my arms to type!)....

As an aside, the weight loss is going. Slooooooooooooooowly. I lost 1 pound last week. It’s a loss though. I’m hoping that the dedicated workouts will kick the weight loss into high gear again... I’m also hoping the salad overdosing will help too.
