Living in the present

I'm extra guilty of the things discussed in this great post my trainer wrote.

My first week on my contract job in the burbs is coming to a close and except for an extremely hungover start to yesterday, it's been great! I feel confident I can do a great job here and really make a big difference on this project.

The bad news is I haven't worked out all week. I have to get up at at 5 to be here by 7 and that took it's toll on me all week. Today I feel like I'm in the swing of this and next week will be a little easier. Saturday is my trainers class and that will help get me going again!

Food has been a bit of a challenge with no refrigerator but the cafeteria is great...I had a salmon salad 2 days in a row cooked on the grill right in front of me...it even had nutritional information with it. Snacking is not as easy as you are expected to go to the cafeteria to eat anything (even if you bring it from home) but I have had a few snacks at my desk ;)

This is a boring post so I'm glad I posted an interesting article.

  1. This is going to be challenging, these weeks away, but you (we) will find a way to make it fit into your life. I've missed you and think about you... I know after getting used to the schedule you'll find a way to exercise!

  3. I had a tough time fitting exercise in when I worked, but you are much more determined and dedicated than I am, and I know you'll find your groove soon.

    Quite nice to have a cafeteria with healthy options available. :)

  6. Hi Tammy - I have no doubt you'll settle back into a good balance between work, exercise, eating and free time. Sounds like long days you're having, but your workout ethic is kickass!

  8. I work the evening shift and our cafeteria is closed at night. So if I forget my lunch, all I have is the vending machine! Not good!
