Been a while since I posted here. Since my last post I have started a new shift at work that has been taking up all my time and leaving me feeling tired all the time and getting sick again. Appears I am not meant to have a "normal" shift job.
I now work Mon-Fri 8am-5pm. By the time I get home I am overly tired and slacked BIG time on cooking at home and exercising of any kind. Oh how I miss my old shift and old job. It gave me time to post here, work out, and feel generally better. Lately, on top of the new shift, I have had very poor sleep again. I blame some of it due to the caffiene I have been having on weekends in great excess.
I have decied to get back on track as of yesterday. I did 35mins of Biggest Loser on Kinect (although it seems to be having issues recognizing me suddently) and then went for a 40 minute walk in the evening right before bed. I think exercising directly before bed is a bad idea and makes me stay awake. I am going to try to get in my exercise earlier, however, I really miss my evening walks with hubby. Since I always work early mornings and he almost always works evenings now so our time together, especially time to exercise together, is very limited. But, I am going to try to exercise on my own in the evenings as sort of a "me" time for at least a half hour daily whether it be Kinect, a walk, or both.
I also have gone back to swearing off caffiene. I felt so much better when I was eating healthy and removed soda and great amounts caffiene from my diet. I will still have caffiene in my teas, but the amount in there is minimal compared to Mountain Dew and energy drinks. I have also picked up some moer 5 hr energy to be my source of an extra "jolt" when hanging out and at shows. I just hope the healthy eating, lack of caffiene, and exercise is going to help me feel better once again and be enough to combat this terrible schedule. ::sigh:: I miss my old job.
I have vowed to make these 4 things priority in my life:
1) Time for myself
- exercise, cooking, reading, small amount of reflection time
2) Time for my husband
- weekly date nights, more walks and bike rides together
3) Time for my photograghy
- I moved here to make my business thrive, and have yet spent enough time on it to do so due to all the other things in my life. I am weeding out all the unnecessaries and making time for the more important.
4) Time for music
- I recently purchased a guitar and have been practicing it, but not as regularly as I'd like. I also need to brush up on my singing for my musical endeavours. ;)
Wish me luck in finding time for all these things in a super busy life!
