2/12/2008 - Busy Busy Bee…

February 12, 2008 By: Vilma Perez Category: Daily Journal 6 Comments →

I gotta start this post off by asking a question for those of you that have full time jobs & still manage to juggle home life, workout life, church life, etc…

“HOW DO YOU DO IT???!!!”   

Things have been CRAZY for me these last 2 weeks.  I’m still trying to get use to handling a full time job & the other things that I had time to do before (church, home life, exercise, keeping up with blogs & updating my own, etc…)

I must admit that last week I DID NOT workout.  I would get home & just feel soo drained that I would opt to sit my butt down on my comfy sofa & watch TV.  I’m surprised that I didn’t gain weight when I measured myself this past Saturday.  To top things off, TOTM arrived and is in full swing along with cravings, bloating & all other symptoms that come with it.  Besides that, I’ve been good.  I like my new job a lot, although I do miss the laid back atmosphere of my old job.  I’m debating whether or not to buy a new wardrobe because I am planning to be skinnier as the days go by.  My old job didn’t really have a dress code  so for 8 years I wore jeans & tennis shoes and only once in a while did I dress up.  Now it’s dressing up (slacks, nice shoes, dressy shirts) every day.  I seriously need a makeover — can someone call ‘how do I look’ or‘what not to wear’ - PLEASE???!!!!!  

On a good note, I walked for 40 minutes during my lunch hour yesterday.  According to map my run, it was a good 2.27 miles. I know it’s not enough but it’s something. I am planning to go to the gym in about 30 mins to get some strength training done so I better end it here for now…

BTW, have you all heard what FINALLY made the news… SUGAR SUBSTITUTES MAY CONTRIBUTE TO WEIGHT GAIN. This is one of main goals for this year - elimination of all if not most of these.  What do you all think?
