Organically Mo: Back To Work {and the gym}

Monday morning was back to work for me. I enjoyed 4 glorious weeks off, but still wasn't ready for the craziness that would hit me when I returned.

To catch some of you up, I run the Activities Office at a local high school. I.LOVE.MY.JOB Working with students who want to plan events and be involved in school is a godsend. I particularly love that the dress code for my job is pretty relaxed. I also run the student store part, so I am constantly moving boxes, bending, etc. Nice jeans and cute tennies are a must!

I am always busy, but there are certain times of the year that are crazier than others. The beginning of school is one of those times. We are busy with registration, Freshmen orientation, club sign ups, sports starting, and before you know it, Football Homecoming has arrived!

Needless to say, I feel like in 2 days I have already worked the equivalent of a week. Especially today.

I ate really well {aka stuck to the food I brought with me} but because of the craziness didn't find the time to take pictures.

***Please note I am now OFFICIALLY a blogger because I am sad I couldn't take picture of the food I ate. Totally normal***

So when 3:30 rolled around, I was more than jazzed to head to the gym. I am starting to look at the gym and the times I run outside as a treat, something I GET to do, not HAVE to do. Plus it gives me time to get my thoughts together before I come home, catch up with Gary & make dinner.

Once again, I was so out of it, I didn't take a picture of me looking a hot mess!! You all lucked out today.

My workout today was simple, as I want to work my back into exercising and not jump in head first.

I did a mile jog {constant jog for a 12:47 mile}, worked my legs on the weight machines for about 15 minutes, then did a .5 mile cool down {didn't look at the time, but my pace was 3.5}. I finished in about 35-40 minutes.

Since I was lame with photos so far, here are a few of my favorite vacation photos! I will close my eyes when I get stressed and think of all the amazing things we saw in Oregon & Washington!
