I almost forgot it's Sunday today because my mind is fully in "Christmas Break" mode. It's not the relaxing breaks of 30 year old childless me, or the stressful breaks I hear so much about, but it's definitely not normal life either. This week was extra awesome as I had 3 days off work WITH CHILDCARE which was amazing amazing amazing.
Reading
I finished reading Real Americans. It was good, but definitely not super memorable. I've just started reading the Dead Romantics.
Sports
I really like exercise, and it turns out that when given days off to do whatever I want, I want to do sports. Most of the below is Peloton, unless obviously not Peloton.

It was a really fun week of sport for me.
Also, gym buddy and I snapped another post workout pic together. I'm not sure where I'm looking.
Sleep
It turns out, when I replace work with exercise I sleep pretty well. I've had an average of 7.33 hours this week. This was helped also by the twins deciding to finally sleep past 5am. We have had a few mornings of 6am and even one 6:30am wake up! I was so surprised to wake up and see the number on my watch start with a 6. I haven't slept in until 6am in... years. It was a christmas miracle.
Also I am really sorry if the text formatting on this post is weird. Blogger is great until it isn't, and I am too tired to figure out what went wrong with my font.
Are you enjoying time off? Is it Christmas holidays for you now? Do you like doing lots of sport or not lots of sport?
I am SO impressed with the amount of exercise you fit in with work and FOUR YOUNG CHILDREN.
ReplyDeleteI don't like sports or exercise. A nice leisurely stroll through the woods on a snowy day is nice, but if I had my choice, I'd be inside sipping coffee. I wish so badly that I loved exercise, but mostly I only do it because I know it's good for me physically and mentally...but I almost always resent it at least a bit.
Well the only reason I fit in this much exercise this week was that I didn't have work. With work I'm cramming 30 minutes into a lunch break, if that!
DeleteI find the more exercise I do the more I like doing it, but its very easy for me to stop and feel quite "meh". I get very bored walking in my neighbourhood but I love walks in the woods (especially on a snowy day - yes please!)
