It's Sunday August 14th, 2010. Tomorrow is Monday August 15th, why is that important? Because tomorrow it's back to work. I know, i know, nobody will shed any tears for me. I had the whole summer off. I haven't had to work since the Friday before Memorial Day. Boo hoo, rough life I've got going here. But, as everything does, this return to work got me thinking. What are the diet/fitness challenges when you don't have a set schedule? The challenges are exactly what you'd think they are, it would be very easy to slack off on the diet, or ease up on the workouts. After all, you can stay extra long tomorrow, right? You can eat a little more, after all you can work out as long as you want, right? Wrong. At least for me. I do best when I have a routine. I probably started my workout between 9:30 and 10 am 90% of the days this summer.
Now that I'm headed back to work, my routine will have to change. Up about 6, out the door at 6:40. Work work work have some lunch, work work work, head to work out, then home, have some supper etc, off to bed . Lather, rinse, repeat. My routine is to workout on my way home, once I get home the chances I'm going back out to the gym are slim. Ooh a rhyme. Anyhoo, that's what works for me. It may not work for you, what's important is finding a routine that gets in enough workouts that becomes just a part of your daily/weekly routine.
I have rambled enough for now, I'll hit diet and workout in the next few posts. My goal is to keep the posts shorter, but post more often.
Adios for now.
