This year is flying by. (Can you believe it’s August already?) In many ways I feel like my life is flying by. Things that are important to me, like eating right, exercising, writing, etc. are often thrown by the wayside in exchange for ease, convenience or, quite often, down time.
This month is bringing some big changes for our family. Starting Monday, Scoot is moving to an earlier schedule (6:30 am – 3 pm) so that he can take care of after school pick-ups. D will be starting Kindergarten and B will be enrolling in a new preschool. These are major disruptions for us, as Scoot and I have been commuting together since 2001 and each of our sons has been part of that since birth. Our car has become a moving family room or kitchen table, the place where we talk about our days at work and school, discuss matters both frivolous and serious, and make decisions large and small. Because I know these changes will bring a lot of stress, I know it’s even more important for me to focus on those things that provide me with physical and emotional nourishment.
For the next month, I’ll be trying to blog blogging daily, and redoing the 30 Day Shred with a new shredding buddy (who has yet to be assigned to me). I’m also going to focus on treating my body better by eating and drinking those things that will help me deal with the physical aspects of stress.
I hope you’ll check back often and come along this journey with me. If not, at least check back on September 1st to see if I survived. 
I recommend homemade hummus.
Easy [if you've a food processor], fun, delicious, super healthy!
Good Luck with the new commute & scheduling!!!
(& shredding!)
That is a lot of change. I can relate about keeping up with the things that are important and for me writing has gone by the wayside as of late.
