I’ve decided to make April a productive month, so yesterday and today have been quite busy. Eating better, exercising and really toning up (trying to), spending quality time with my boys (husband and doggy) and remaining positive and happy. I’m sure by mid month I’ll have a mental breakdown but for NOW I am really enjoying it. This morning I got up early, ran with my dog, chatted with my sister a bit before 8am! (its her birthday), had a healthy and balanced breakfast and<\/strong> was at work on time. While this may seem like a typical day for many, I am always letting the dog out for a quick pee, grabbing a granola bar and running out the door, getting to work 5 minutes late even though I live a few blocks away. So this morning was extra special, you see. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I hope everyone else is having an exciting April so far!<\/p>\n
