Staying Busy

I didn’t have much planned for the day, but I managed to stay busy!

Even when I don’t have much can do, I can always find things to do. It is really hard for me to sit still. I don’t have ADHD; I just like to use my time wisely and be productive.

After a full 9 hours of sleep, I was craving some good old oatmeal for breakfast this morning. I had a dollop of peanut butter on top, but I think I’m burning out on peanut butter. What is your favorite nut butter to have with oatmeal? I need some new ideas! I also had half of an apple.

After Craig got up, I suggested taking a walk since it was actually kind of sunny out!

What was I thinking!!! We froze in about 20 minutes–even despite our multiple layers!

Craig being a goofball.

Then we decided to play Sequence.

Craig was sad because I beat him!! 🙂

12:30 p.m. rolled around, and I was hungry!

spaghetti squash + carrots + grilled turkey sandwich + blue chips

There was more than just lettuce and meat on the sandwich; there was also cheese, tomato, mayo, and mustard on it.

And a cookie for dessert–sent from my mom! 🙂

It is a tradition in my family to go shopping the day after Christmas and seek out the after-Christmas bargains.

Now normally, we would get up at the crack of dawn to go, but I wasn’t willing to waste sleep over it, so I ventured out later in the day. Trust me, there were still plenty of deals to be found!

Target was actually the only store I went to to find Christmas specials. I found a serving platter, wrapping paper, gift tags, and decorative tin all for 50% off!

This evening I had every intention of going to yoga, but somehow I got sidetracked at home and arrived a few minutes late. I was really bummed, but actually just more mad at myself. 🙁

I saw there was another class this evening, but when I read the class is designed for those at an intermediate level, I knew there was no way I could go to that one either. Bummer!

Instead, I did 30 minutes of yoga through Yoga Download at home. While it isn’t the same as doing yoga in a studio–and in a hot room–it had to do for tonight.

I just finished a green monster smoothie and am going to lay low for the rest of the evening!

Question

Are you a busy-body, or can you rest and take it easy?



Hi, I'm Michelle

I love running around the lakes of Minnesota, running after my two boys, and racing anything from the 5K to the marathon. I have been blogging here since 2010 when I ran my first marathon. I finally secured my sub-3 hour marathon after trying for 8 years.

    I’ve got better about just relaxing, but I typically have a need to do “something.”
