…I always get them. Even though I have to work on Friday, I’ve always looked forward to Friday way more than Sunday. There’s a sense of freedom associated with Friday – just gotta get through the day and then …the possibilities are endless! (Even if you just stay home in your pjs and watch bad TV) But Sunday always rolls around with an accompanying sense of doom.

This week will be stressful. I know it. I have 3 meetings that I’m dreading and need to travel to Colorado mid-week. And I HATE flying. And I won’t have the BF to hold my hand and offer his arm for squeezing and crying upon when the turbulence starts kicking.

How will I get through the week? Exercise..and, let’s just face it, alcohol. I’m not an alcoholic, I swear. But a glass (or 2) of wine can really take the edge off. Hmm…this is supposed to be a healthy living blog, right? Ok, so let’s just talk about exercise.

Luckily, the hotel I’m staying at has a small fitness room and is situated next to running trail next to a bubbling (babbling?) creek – very Colorado. I’ll probably be too wiped to work out on Wednesday, but will do my best to get a nice run in on Thursday evening after my day-long meeting (vs. drowning my stress and fear of flying at the hotel bar). Being away from my normal routine and without the options of hanging out with BF, seeing friends, putzing around my apartment, etc actually gives me motivation to exercise. What else is there to to do by myself? I won’t have transportation and all the local shops are closed by 7pm.

Ok, I’m off to mentally prepare for the week.  I apologize for the lack of pictures – my technical difficulties seem to continue, as I’m currently unable to upload photos – but I promise to figure it out! I’ve still got some good ones to share from my trip to the west coast!
