Week 60

Phew- week 60

So I work 4 days a week- My wens & fri office days with my commute turn out to be 10 hour days.. out the door at 7.30am- home at 5.30pm... today is wens and I am spent..... spent... I don't know how I would squeeze a workout in after work.. but no excuses...It would simply require rising earlier in the morning. My T&Th are 8 hour days with my commute and those days are so much easier to manage my workouts. I just do them in the morning or after work. I worked out in the morning the other day for the first time in awhile and I forgot how much satisfaction I get knowing it's over and done and that I have put myself first.I have really been trying to workout outside as much as possible... I have a sore knee from outdoor running... nothing that icing won't help.

*Just realized after I wrote this that I had forgotten to take my thyroid & cortisone meds that morning... both affect my energy... after awhile my 3 pm dose kicked in and I felt better.

week 59

all is well. trying to balance it all.. new job, summer, etc.... but so far so good. I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the new job.. so much to learn. Yesterday Liv and I walked 4 miles, so I got my exercise time and Mommy daughter time in at the same time.

Today is a rest day, but on my lunch I walked 10 flights of stairs to get some exercise in. I am going to try to do this everyday.... stairs are a great workout

week 58

weight 135

I started my job this week and I will now start working out 3 days a week- Tuesday, Thursday and Sat. T&TH because those are my shorter days of the week. I am def not getting as many daily steps in at all...I usually average around 7000-9000 steps and over 10 flights of stairs and today I only did 4300 and 5 flights... I will get my 5 more flights in before bed.... but it's not a workout day for me. I am sitting more at this job, versus at court I was constantly moving around & going up and down stairs. My old Job I had to go down a flight of stairs to make & retrieve copies, faxes, lunch... while everything is now in easy reach. I need to make reasons to get up and move with this job. On my lunch I went up & down the 3 flights and did a little walk. I could probably do those stairs a few more times.

I am sure once I get going with my home visits I will move more... one clients home is just 1/2 mile from the office so I will try to walk to that clients home. all is well... still eating healthy.. been doing a little over the bare minimum with my workouts just because of time restraints and my new schedule/commute adjustments. I had mucho flexibility at my old job and it was never a big deal to be exactly on time. This new place is a stickler.. 5 min late is tardy and you can be written up... so I allow myself 45-50 minutes for my 35 min commute to allow for traffic/trains or other setbacks. I need to start pushing it a little more once I get into the swing of things.


I really want to move closer to this new job... we will see.


Nervous to drop my workouts from 5 days to 3... but it's just more realistic with my new job. Also I can really push myself and have more quality workouts.

First day of new job
