So far I have not met my goal of 10 minutes of exercise any day of this week. Sunday I have no excuse other than I went out with my sister and just chose to relax on my "weekend". This is tough!
This week has been very tiring. I haven't been getting my usual 9 hours of sleep a night and I feel it wearing on me. It's really weird how people go on 6 hours of sleep and it seems like I can't get any less than 9 without it affecting me. It kind of sucks! I need that energy. It makes my work day go by faster. I'm dragging when I don't have energy!! I have all this drainage mess still and that isn't helping. Like right now, I'd love some hot chocolate to help my throat. It's pretty close to bed time though and would likely affect how well I sleep. I will just save it for morning and have a hot chocolate or chocolate protein shake for breakfast. It hasn't been my best meal of the day lately.
Today I told myself I'd get that exercise in. What happened? I could probably come up with all kinds of excuses about how time just got away from me and whatnot. The real deal is and I can't believe I'm saying this... I like being social. I want to be liked. I want to have fun. What better way to do that than spend time getting to know your coworkers? Top that o ff with how my feet are KILLING me by the end of the day and of course, the last thing I'm considering when I get home is hopping on the Wii Fit and getting my workout on. So really the only thing to do is pick a time during the day to get it done and stick to that. It's just 10 minutes, right? That's ONE break or 10 minutes of my one hour lunch. Surely I can do that.
Bah. I have a kid throwing a tantrum because I took her shoes off. I'm not letting her sleep in her dang shoes. I'm exhausted and need to wash my face/brush my teeth before going to bed. She needs a shower... I'm hoping D will take care of that and let me go on to bed. I'm sure ready for it. Need need sleep. So much for getting my hair colored tonight. It's tempting to try, but I'd likely fall asleep with it in! Maybe after getting more rest tonight, I can get D to help with that tomorrow. I can't wait to have my hair one color again LOL! Ah, small pleasures. Seriously, time for bed. I'm OUT...til next time.

Be kind to yourself as you adjust to your new schedule. As someone who is cranky if I don't get about 10 hours of sleep, I definitely know where you are coming from.
But you are doing it! You're moving! You're active. The "intentional exercise" will come eventually once you're used to the transition. I just know it!
YOU CAN DO IT!
Now get some rest! =P
You too? I swear, I thought it was just ME! I went to bed around 8 last night, so I got a bit more sleep and even woke up right before my alarm went off! :)
You're right. I'm generally moving 8 hours a day now, whereas before my movement was limited to an hour 3 days a week! How long did it take you to get used to the extra movement? My feet and legs are still killing me by the end of some days. Some days not so much depending on the kind of work I'm doing.
I need to take my meds and get my hair color rinsed out. Another manic morning as I get my day started. Thanks Dani!
The only reason I survive each day is one thing, coffee. I confess I haven't worked out in WEEKS....just no motivation for it at all. Hopefully I will kick back up into it soon.
