I know, I know I was a terrible blogger last week, I’m SORRY (You like how I pretend to have lots of readers who care when I do not blog?).\u00a0 I swear every day of last week 5pm would roll around and I was like WHAT?! AHHH?\u00a0 I need to be better about prioritizing my tasks, at AU especially.\u00a0 I seem to constantly be pulled into different directions all day long and my to do list just keeps getting longer and longer.\u00a0 Also, good news and bad news.\u00a0 Bad news is I had to give up some clients that I really love in the last few weeks.\u00a0 Good news is this will be better for my sanity and productivity in general, I just could not keep that pace up.\u00a0 But man did I try.\u00a0 I want to be good at what I do, not just get by.\u00a0 Which sometimes means, I need to do less, need more downtime to focus on myself, regroup etc. Anyway, GUESS WHAT?\u00a0 I had NO class this weekend because technically it is “spring break”, I was so excited to have free time I didn’t know what to do with myself.\u00a0 I also think I annoyed the crap out of Shain because he is not used to me hanging around the house as much as I did, actually I KNOW I annoyed him.\u00a0 Probably because I am a woman and I love to talk a lot and have “deep conversations” and he is a man and does not.\u00a0 Makes sense. Friday night we stayed in and I made Paleo Banana Pumpkin Pancakes for dinner that were sooo yummmmy.\u00a0 Well, Shain will tell you they were ‘okay’, yet he ate them all. Saturday morning I slept in until 7AM! WOO! Then I met my good friend Nicole at the Waterfall Glen trail for a run.\u00a0 The trail was not plowed and covered in snow, which means we were just one step away from breaking our ankles the whole time.\u00a0 Thankfully, we lived and even had coffee after.\u00a0 That night Shain and I went out with a group of friends to Chicago to see Second City and go to dinner.\u00a0 We ate at this awesome restaurant called The Publican which made it SUPER easy to follow my paleo challenge because everything on the menu was fresh seafood, meat etc. with veggies and no additives.\u00a0 I cannot believe I didn’t take any pictures of our food like I usually do, I think because I was too busy shoving everything into my face. Sunday I had my usual awesome clients and then did my cooking.\u00a0 Want to know what I made?\u00a0 You don’t? Too bad, I am going to tell you: Steak Stir Fry Italian Meatloaf \u00a0Salad with Shrimp, Mango, Apples & Strawberries This Pumpkin Granola kind of looks like vomit, but I promise it is AWESOME. Oh and I should ALSO mention that on SundayI had to pass up my all time FAVORITE meal that Shain’s parents make- Chicken Enchiladas and Sopa. UGH.\u00a0 Stupid Paleo Challenge.\u00a0 If I don’t have a six pack in 30 days I am going to be PISSED. Not Paleo but so good. Sigh. This was not a very insightful\/inspirational post, I apologize.\u00a0 There will be more of those coming this week PROMISE! \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Stay blessed in the mess! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-346","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"aioseo_notices":[],"post_mailing_queue_ids":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=346"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":355,"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/346\/revisions\/355"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=346"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=346"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.blessedinthemess.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
