Yes, I have been exercising

Still truckin...

Ah, the benefits of exercise are many and varied. I've been on a crazy loop of going out of town for multiple weekends now. More parties, more socializing...more time away from exercise and the routine of healthy eating. It's amazing to me how invigorating just a few quick sessions of exercise can be. I have actually run three times in 11 days. Woo Hoo. Is this a new leaf? A return to my running self of last year? Who knows... I don't want to get too hyped up and put too much pressure on myself. I just want to enjoy it. I want to run without pain. I want to look forward with anticipation to my next run, not dread. So, for now, the pace is slow and steady. I've also committed to a routine of my IWTB dvds. I've slipped in a few days of walking to and back from work from a spot where I park my car. Just that extra hour of walking does wonders for my self confidence. And now that overtime is no longer an option, I'm back to time winning out in the money v. time endless debate. After 50+ hour work weeks, it's crazy how short an 8 hr day seems. So, looks like for now, I'll be broke as a joke but I'll have some toned muscles to show for it.

Carry on.
