Planning for the week
It’s with excitement and dread that I’m facing this week. I’m tremendously happy about a project I’ve been busy with whilst on maternity leave is going live. The project has developed from something to keep me occupied when I was spending my days in bed to something that I want to seriously go for. It has given me direction and purpose, which had been lost for some time and at the same time inspired, engaged and challanged me.
But set aside long term plans, the week has just started and although the excitement, I’m also very tired. I’ve been trying to catch up on my sleep this weekend, but I still feel exhausted. It shows. My eyes are puffy and I’ve developed dark circles that can’t even be fixed with my standard concealer. I need an energy boost, physically and mentally. To achieve this, a good structured and rather rigid schedule should keep me in check and also provide the motivation I need to get through the week:
Work: Only one goal. Launch the project with all objectives and deliverables met!
Health: 2 priorities.
1) After some restaurant dinners I haven’t been able to loose any weight, so this week my goal is to drop from 57kg to 55kg. This time around I shall adhere to my diet strictly. No alcohol, no cappucinos, and only a handful of nuts per day instead of three or four.
2) I have to get more sleep. No TV this week. Work between 9 and 11pm. In bed and asleep at midnight.
Family: On Wednesday I have promised to take Victoria and some of her friends to the fun fair. Victoria is travelling to Malta with her dad at the end of the week, so it will be nice to spend some time with her before she leaves. On Sunday is our one year wedding anniversary. I still need to figure something out for the day. Suggestions?
Other: There is not much else this week. It’s full on as it is so in fact I shall be cutting down on a whole lot of stuff I would otherwise attempt to squeese in. This week, only high priorities shall get my attention.
