Finding a Happy Medium

So...one thing that I was looking forward to about my job prospect was the fact that the hours were 8-4 WITH an hour lunch break...that's 35 hours a week, salary.... (When I say this outloud I want to kick myself for turning down the offer...I digress...) The great thing about this would have been that I could have spent my lunch hour with friends, family, or even running errands if necessary and still have extra time in the afternoon after work to go to the gym and be able to pick Garrett up from daycare all before 5:30...ahhh...grrr...
ANYWAY..the point of this blog is, (I turned that job down right?, I need to leave it alone) the point of this blog IS....I am currently spending my lunch hour at the gym and eating snacks and small "meals" throughout the day while working...which works, no big deal...but I'm starting to think about the winter and yummy comfort foods and spending lunches with friends and doing some me things, but in this scenario I don't have that extra hour of free time in the afternoon to get my gym time in. So...where do I find the happy medium? I love the gym, I want to work out, because I'm happiest when I feel good about myself, but I also want the happiness of being able to relax and not put so much emphasis on working out and enjoy some other ME time to shop, grab a latte, have lunch with friends and NOT feel guilty about skipping the gym.
