Back to the Basics

The ball is over.

The weekend is over.

I’m back at work.

Back to banana sandwiches.

Back to being more cognizant of what I put in my body, rather than going for champagne and greasy food.

Back to strength training. Back to at least eight hours of sleep a night.

Back to caring for myself in the long term, not just the short term.

Because I’m sick of the cycle lately where I spend all week making up for the weekend.

I am worth it seven days a week, and so are you.

  • Love this post. If you manage to figure out how to get 8 hours of sleep a night - let me know!! =)

  • This is the story of my life. I spend every week making up for the weekend, or perhaps I spend every weekend overcompensating for the week?

    If you figure this one out, please share!

  • Love your post! I am back to peanut butter and banana sandwiches too! Oh weekdays! However, I have started adding a little bit of nutella to the sandwich, gives it a little extra special flavor!

  • "I am worth it seven days a week, and so are you."

    Seriously, thank you for this! I needed it today.

  • Perfect post - couldn't agree more! Lately I've been slipping from my key New Year's resolution - "treating my body with respect" - this post is definitely an inspiration to get back on track!

  • "Because I’m sick of the cycle lately where I spend all week making up for the weekend." I love this line. It's not even about healthy living, it's about the fact that my life is totally unbalanced and I kill myself during the week because I'm lazy about just about everything on the weekends. Thank you for the reminder!
