I thought I was going to have this evening off, and I had a scintillating night of cleaning the house planned, but I was just asked to come into the store tonight. Two new people have been hired, so this should be the last time I am worked to death called in. I reluctantly agreed to come in if they absolutely can’t find anyone else. I am already working tomorrow night, and I worked last night, so there goes my week.
That means no workout today, because I expected to be able to work out this evening. Frustrated doesn’t even begin to cover how I am feeling. I am frazzled and just feel like there is no way to lose weight when my life is like this. I can’t plan for anything, I don’t have a routine, and I am too tired to have even a lick of motivation.
I am going to steal an idea from a fellow blogger and make a daily to-do list for myself, a simple, basic checklist. Nothing flashy, nothing too challenging, just reminders of what I should be focusing on each day. I want to set a daily list and a weekly list, so things like “stay under calories on MyFitnessPal” on my daily list and “4 workouts” on my weekly list. I will start very small, get into the habit of focusing on these things, then change them as (hopefully) my schedule frees up and I feel more human.
The way I feel right now, the #1 item on my daily checklist will be “Don’t kill anyone”. 🙂 Let’s just see about making it through that one before adding too much else!

Hope the list helps! 😉 It's been hit and miss here, but I had a migraine, so the fact that I stuck to any of it was actually a victory. Have you talked to your coach about your work situation? Maybe she/he has some ideas of how to cope.

I like the idea of daily simple check list. I keep one one on my phone along with notes and the grocery list …it's nice to have little reminders and also gratifying to cross them off. Good luck! p.s. I seriously hope that you had wrote “don't kill anyone” LOL!
