or Damn Its Been a Long Time!
or Where Did You Go?
Well, I went on vacation to be honest. And it was the best vacation ever! All I did was go visit my sister and her wonderful family, but I had a great time! Even went to NOLA and did some art shopping.
Did I run? Sadly, no. I haven't done too much of anything to be honest. BUT I am currently trying something new. I have changed my schedule at work so that I can hit the gym BEFORE work. And to be honest, its really working out well for me.
I get out of bed no later than 5:30, which is what time I used to get up anyway. I am at the gym by 5:45, and the place is almost entirely empty! I love it! I am home between 6:15 and 6:30. In the shower and out the door for work by 7. I have also started using the St Louis MetroLink, which is the StL area's answer to the subway. I park in a free parking lot, and though I don't get home any earlier, I have already hit the gym for the day.
I get home by 6 in the evenings and all I have to worry about now is making dinner! Its a great feeling. Yesterday was a flop on the schedule thanks to feeling sick to my stomach and eventually getting sick. But I am loving it.
What was I doing before? Well, I would get up at the same time, but be out of my house by 6:15 to ride in with my parents. Since dad has to be at work by 7, that means mom and I did too. We would leave at 5 and get home at 6. I would change my clothes and then go to the gym, if I hadn't talked myself out of it by then. I would get home around 7, make dinner usually and finally get to sit in my chair around 8... thats a LLLLOOONNNGGGG day. And lately I had talked myself out of the gym more than I should have...
Doing this new schedule though, I don't feel the afternoon slump and I don't feel like I am fighting with myself to go to the gym, so I think this works for me!
Anything new in your world?
