This year has just been ridiculous. I've had so much to do - one fire to put out after the next. This week is the first week I've had to breathe and I'm latching onto it with all my might.
I got pretty sick back in April and May - couldn't shake it - and THEN, allergies kicked in.
But I'm better and things have calmed down for this brief moment. I started walking again on Monday as well as lifting on the bowflex. I have a new weight bench that I got for Christmas but no weights to use on it yet ... one thing at a time, I guess.
The only thing I have to sacrifice to give myself time is sleep, so I've started trying to get out to the park/track by 6 am. At that time, it's light enough that I'm not afraid of getting attacked and I'm able to get my walking done and get back to my desk for work before 8:00 a.m. Still, I am used to being at my desk and working before 7 a.m. so I still feel like I'm losing time.
My muscles are all sore in that good way that tells me I'm doing something. Hopefully I can keep this up. Nothing looms for the next few weeks to stop me, so cross your fingers.
I'm well over 200 lbs again. I am going to try and take measurements today and break out all my tools to keep myself on track. I've got to put myself a little higher on my priority list or I'm going to keel over. I do have blood work to be done on Friday, which will tell me about sugar levels, B-12 levels, cholesterol levels, etc. Not really looking forward to those results.
Writing here helps keep me on track, so I'm going to make an effort to report in my progress.
