Spike's Bitches 48: I Say, We Go Out There, and Kick a Little Demon Ass.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
No posts all day? Must fix!
Thanksgiving at my sister's was surprisingly quiet and drama-free. I got home around 7 Friday, was in bed by 10, and slept almost all day Saturday. I guess I needed it; I've been so tired and stressed for a month now. Today I've been catching up on work because that never ends, and I went to the new Wegman's and wandered around for a while. Tomorrow my staycation officially begins! I've never been so looking forward to cleaning my house.
It was a quiet day indeed. I was being all productive and stuff. I decorated the Christmas tree, did laundry, and other house stuff.
AND I embarked on a new exercise plan. My energy levels are at a new all time low, and my weight at near an all time high. I've gained 11 pounds since Mom died. All I have wanted to do was eat or lay around. Just exhausted. I have a park immediately across the street with a 1/4 mile track. Every single hour on the hour I am walking my fat ass over to the park and walking one loop with the dog. 5 minutes. No excuses. Always have 5 minutes. I did this 11 times yesterday for 2-3/4 miles. And I had more energy and got a bunch of stuff done in between. Zoe also endorses this plan.
Good for you, Laura! Getting that routine going is so difficult and so important.
Zen, glad you had a nice, restful weekend.
I have completely fallen out of my fairly new walking routine. With going to PT across town twice a week and then just being plain busy the rest of the time, going for a walk or heading to the rec center just hasn't happened for a couple of weeks. That CAN"T continue. The only good walk I've gotten in lately was when I was in SLC and I hit the hotel gym.
The distance from my house to the corner is 1/4 mile (so, roundtrip to the corner and back is 1/2 mile). There's no reason I can't zip outside and walk that at least a few times a day. But I don't. I really should get motivated.

Might need a reward system. Can you place a taco at the end of the block? No, that's counter productive...
I was struggling for motivation (and put on a bunch of weight after I stopped playing soccer). I got a fitbit and started a new diet. I've dropped a bit of weight and I'm competing against friends via fitbit to do the 10,000 steps per day thing. I hear you about motivation, it was a bear to actually get going again. It has been easier to keep going once I got started.

What's the rule of thumb? It takes three weeks to establish a new habit?
The best I can do on a daily basis is park at the opposite end of the lot from the elevators, and schedule my meetings in the farthest conference rooms. But it's not really enough.
Once the office takes away our delivery vouchers and puts us on cafeteria food, it'll be easier to stick to a diet because the unhealthy options won't be as tempting.
