Excuses

by Laura on April 22, 2012

Excuses. That would probably be the best word to describe my physical well-being lately. A new job with a significant commute time and where my boss (God love her) loves to go out eat & take me along. At first I thought I would take some time off and just adjust to the new schedule before I figured out a workout scheduled and a meal plan. It’s now nearly 5 months later and I’m still not working out and I’m completely failing at choices when we go out to lunches.

I’m to the point now that I am so very disappointed with myself. I so have got to get this figured out. Working out & eating well was something I was doing for me. My time running was like therapy and the fact that I had more energy and physically felt better.

I really hope to take time this week to figure out when is the best time to run for myself. I am so not a morning person, but I’m beginning to think that getting up at 4am to run at 4:30am so I can be in the shower by 6am is the only way I can really get this done on a daily basis. Working past 5pm and then pop up after hours events that I need to be at sometimes put me home after 8:30pm and by then I really just want to spend time with the kids and go to bed.

Have you ever had a life change that has affected your workout schedule and eating habits? How did you handle it and find that groove that worked?

Not my fastest run, but was a great run.

Missing: My Fitness Groove

February 9, 2012

With exciting changes in life sometimes there can be challenges as well. Such as the situation with my life since early December. A step on the ladder in my career suddenly meant going into the office everyday vs. working from home. On top of that I am still working on freelance projects in the evening. [...]
