Plan for Week 13 of 52

This week is going to be hard, I am already preparing myself to be strong and keep my head on straight. Before vacations, I sometimes check out of my mind a few days early, ignoring routines, not eating well, and screwing off at work, only in anticipation of sitting in a hot springs, next to a raging river at sunset, with red wine hidden in my coffee cup........ok enough of the day dream.

I have to work four-tens this week because I am taking Friday off. The last time I worked four ten hour days, I worked 6:30am - 5pm, this week I decided to do 7am to 5:30pm, this is going to royally suck, but I have to. My plan was to ride my bike all four days to work, that means getting up at 5:30am to start to work by 6am. However, it is supposed to snow tonight. I am not believing it will snow tonight though. Why you ask? Because it hasn't snowed all winter! Unless you count the trace amount from last month, not even enough to register.

We'll see though. If I don't ride my bike, then I will go to the gym after work. However, I could do a couple really long walks with Jorge and Dan. Friday before we head into the mountains, Dan said we will have our last chance workout. Ever watch Biggest Loser? This Friday is probably the last time we will work out until we get back from the hot springs. I am bringing my yoga DVDs though. So I may not be posting this coming weekend, maybe, only if I a can pull myself away from the Venetian water fall of 103 degrees in pool 22 at Pagosa Hot Springs, trust me it is utterly heavenly. I can already feel my body there.

Work is also going to be sooooo busy this week. I have three projects I am working on, plus I have to recruit a whole bunch more providers into our network, lots and lots and lots to do. Here's to keeping my head on straight and getting some exercise, in order to keep the stress down.
