Bean Sleeping In? -- 08/19/2011
Our life is about to change; drastically. Breakfast at 6:15, healthy and durable bag lunches ready by 7:00, and then they are probably going to still want dinner at night too! I knew there was something more than just sleeping in that I like about summer. But this year, I am resolved to bring some order to my daily chaos in the kitchen. First of all, I am going to plan ahead (gasp) for more than just dinner, and have those ingredients waiting for me so I can do more than just hope something is in the refrigerator when I roll out of bed.

At this point I am going to just take a bath in epsom salts and survive today’s challenge, whatever it is. He and I are fortunate that he has caught me in a season where I am willing to be his training partner in torture because frankly, I don’t always feel so agreeable about exercise. I get tired, schedule stressed, and completely disinterested for whole blocks of time. How can I protect my motivation, and what can you and I do to get out of an apathetic slump if we’re in one? It is my conviction that our good health depends on it.
