 Aha!

I was reading Marie Claire this week (thanks Lauren!) and came across a story about Elisa Steele, chief marketing officer of Skype. My take-away from the article was her realization that "work-life balance" isn't happening.  She, like many of us, had a constant struggle with professional life, being a mom at home, and being a woman. 

She finally decided "there is "no 'work-life balance;' its just life."

Keep this sentence in mind this week when the excuses for not making healthy food choices, skipping exercise sessions, and making general excuses regarding fitness creep up.
