I haven’t abandoned my blog. Really. Every time I have started to write something, I have been interrupted. This week has been, quite frankly, hell, and I’d give anything for it to be Saturday morning and finally my day off!
I am working nearly 70 hours this week between my two jobs. By now my brain is a fog, my feet are so sore I can barely walk, and let’s just say I just might be a tad bit on the grumpy side. I really need some solid sleep.
I gave up on even entertaining the notion of workouts this weekend. Not gonna happen until my day off on Saturday. Unfortunately, with my all-or-nothing thinking, that has also led to giving up on my eating. Well, why bother? If I can’t incorporate one healthy habit, they may as well all go to shit, right? Yes, that is how my brain functions! It’s a self-defeating mentality, but one that is hard to shake.
I have managed to log my food this week, at least. What I’ve been eating may not impress anyone, but at least I tracked it. My plan is to finally work out on Saturday (no alarm, though, definitely not a morning workout). If I’m working Sunday, I will either work out after work or track my steps/activity at work (it’s at a store, so I’m constantly in motion) and see which way makes the most sense for how I feel that day.
It’s actually been driving me nuts that I can’t work out this week. I’m looking forward to my schedule easing up just a bit next week so I can get back to at least 4-5 days of exercise for the week. My exercise ticker has been stuck at 35 minutes all month! I set a low goal of 600 minutes for May and am determined to reach it.
