A Weekly Check-in

184.5 after a day at work and a bladder full of coffee. I'm trying to get used to seeing what the scale says at every hour of the day and desensitizing myself to the numbers I see; knowing that the fluctuations can be crazy... up to 5 pounds either way from my 182-ish current number... But I know I'm not consistent with the plan... sticking to it one day and throwing caution to the wind the next. It's SO hard. For exercise, I walk twice a day - a few miles in the morning with my neighbor and 3 miles at night around the lake. It's not a "cardio" workout, but it's better than nothing.  Hiking this week was postponed because of the rain... waiting for another day that works for everyone. I'm really so pre-occupied with work that I've definitely become #2 on the list.

And hopefully that will change when I get into a rhythm.

Going back to work full time is a big change. You're still transitioning. Once this becomes the new normal - the dust settles - you'll find your mojo with the rest again. Give it a little time. Get extra rest! If you're feeling you want or need it, that is.

Good for you for getting out there and walking!! It’s activity and that’s what counts!!!

I missed this post. It definitely takes time to get back into the swing of full time work; emotionally, mentally and physically!

Cut yourself some slack :)
