How to balance your life

Hellooo

So – this is something I have not yet mastered!

I work in a pretty time consuming industry – estate agency – so i work from 8:30-6pm Mon,Tues,Wed, Fri, 8:30am – 7pm on a Thursday then 9am-4pm every other Saturday. This month however it has been every Saturday, so I have basically been working 50 hour weeks.

On top of this I decided to do PIIT28 – I got to my heaviest weight again in Winter 2016 and to be honest I felt insecure, sluggish and just a bit MEH! So I decided to kick start 2017 I’d start with PIIT28 as I have done blogilates calendars before but I wasn’t strict enough on myself.

I love the feeling I get once I’ve done it and when I see results – but it means getting up at 6am before work and killing myself doing the workout.

I also train for football once a week, with a match every Sunday (usually – thankfully we have a few weeks off so I can actually have ONE day off a week yey!)

I also like running twice a week, for several reasons – it helps with my stamina at football, it’s what makes me feel the best once I’ve finished it, but also it’s good for my mental health to get out in the air and just forget and run!

So… alongside work and fitness, I also have a home to run, I need to come home and cook tea every night, I have a boyfriend sat at home that I try to spend time with, even if it is just sitting in the same room doing separate things, I have friends that I need to see but sometimes I forget I’ve even made plans!

As much as I love PIIT28, I’m looking forward to it finishing this Sunday so I can slow down a little!

This is also why there wasn’t an Eat Smart Sunday last week – I went out Saturday evening to see my friends and Sunday I spent the day with my parents I miss them a huuuuge amount and they mean so much to me so I went for a run with my dad, then a meal with both mum and dad then the cinema after.

It’s so important to make time for the people that you love, don’t forget that.

Has anyone else got this balance your life thing down to a T? I would love to hear what you do to make life work!

Much Love
