Putting in the time.

So I've been going to the gym 6 times a week for 1- 1.5 hours. On top of 9.5 hour work/travel time that leaves me about two extra hours a day to....shower, cook, grocery shop and clean? Good luck being productive in any other area on those days.

But this week there is hope! I have Sunday off. YES it's true. No gym. No work. I finally get a breather. So I can stop and look around at what's happening and make some decisions. And hopefully spend some time with Matt. It will be our first day off together in over a month.

This Sunday will also be my half-way mark in this workout program. Have I lost any weight? Maybe 2 pounds? But I got my first "Have you lost weight?" questions yesterday which is always a good sign. It wears on me to work so hard and not have any measurable results. I just keep telling myself to stick to it and I will benefit. I decided I need to work harder on drinking enough water and eating enough calories. Strange sounding I know - but working in retail makes it really difficult to manage eating 4 times in one shift. I just have to be more diligent about it and not feel guilty about sneaking to the back for some meatloaf...

So the theme for the rest of Phase 2 is TIME MANAGEMENT. Let's get to it!
