    Damage Control

    This past week I walked on Monday and Friday. Yesterday I did a full body/cardio circuit and walked. Today will be weights and walking. We have snow in the forecast for this next week. Today will be laundry and grocery shopping. I bought some plastic containers for the girls to use and...

    Damage Control

    Another crazy busy week. I'm not tolerting the long days and unrealistic expectations they have for this project. It's so stressful. My psoriasis has been really bad lately too. I think it is due to large swings in temperature, but I'm sure all this stress isn't helpful. My company laid...

    No workouts to report this week. I worked 57 hours this week. I'm so burnt out. Today will be legs, and tomorrow will be upper body, core and bike ride. My hip has a bit of pain, probably the steroids wearing off. Sitting all day probably does not help. My hip flexors have been pretty...

    The only workout this week was yesterday. I did a 30 min low impact peloton class (may quads were burning), and then did RWH CST. I hope to do legs today. I have a couple appointments this morning and a hair appt this afternoon. I should be able to fit it in somewhere. I wish is was warmer...

    Damage Control

    No workouts to report for this past week. My job is exhausting and I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this. We have ridiculous deadlines that are not attainable. We've brought it up to our managers but they are also being pressured by higher ups. I've been asked to do work that I...

    Damage Control

    I didn't realize I hadn't checked in for a while. The first couple weeks of January were good work wise. Not too much going on. That has all changed and I just don't handle all this stress like I used too. It's really becoming too much for me. I'm getting in 3 to 5 workouts each week and...

    Another work week is behind me. I know I just had a break from work but already feel like I need another one. I'm not really enjoying what I'm doing right now, and the fear of being laid off is just very stressful. I did workout on Tuesday, Chest/abs and some cardio. Today GVT legs, and it...

    It sounds like you had a wonderful time. The drive home-not so much. LA traffic is the worse. My company has a large campus there. One of the younger gals I work with, her rent is more than my mortgage for 2 bedroom apartment. Santa Monica is a nice area. Did you go to the pier? It's so...

    The girls left yesterday to visit their family in Oregon. It's nice and quiet here. We didn't do anything special for New Year's. We usually just watch movies, and that's what we did. We started with The Equalizer and Equalizer 2, then moved on to John Wick. Did you celebrate? Yesterday...

    Well I've had a few days to recover from Holiday stress. I pretty much didn't workout at all the 2 weeks before Christmas. I did walk around the lakes one day. I started back working out on the 27th. It was a full body circuit, Sat was back and Shoulders, yesterday was just walk around the...

    Damage Control

    I'm enjoying my time off. The Christmas tree is not yet up and I haven't cleaned my office either. I am working out everyday though and feel good about that! Today I did GS C&T and my own biceps/shoulders. Yesterday was a fun workout, more like a gym class. Burpee/tuck jump...

    Damage Control

    I'm off today and tomorrow. My job is so stressful this time of year. I have my 80 hours so I'm taking a couple days off. I hope to get the Christmas tree up today, and clean my office that I have been putting off for weeks. Those are the dates DS is flying also. He has to work Friday as...

    I started doing the countdown to New Years challenge on the other platform. It's a nice mix of weights and cardio and so far I am enjoying it. Tomorrow is a rest day as I have a dentist appointment instead. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving with our family. My MIL started her immunotherapy...

    Damage Control

    I worked out yesteday, an old cardio and abs from the other platform. It was nice to do something. I might ride the peloton after I get the housework done. The girls and I are cleaning the house today. We cancelled the cleaners for this week, and I would like to switch to monthly service...

    Yesterday was a lazy day after working until 2:30 am. I went to bed early last night and slept pretty good. I feel so much better today. I'm doing legs today and will probably walk around the lakes afterward. Temps are in the mid 50's for the afternoon. After that I need to rake the leaves...

    I'm off today, but need to work tonight. I hate when my night work falls on my off Friday. It happens from time to time though. My boss is recommending me for leadership. That sounds even more stressful to me. It would be more money though. We'll see what happens. We have possible layoffs...

    Looks like I've been MIA. Sorry about that. I'm just struggling working out consistently. The stress of potentially losing my job and not sleeping, I just don't have any energy. Yesterday was Muscle Max and today I did legs from the other platform. Wednesday I did full body from the other...

    Well it was nice being off for a week, even if we didn't go to the mountains. I've been able to get back on track with my workouts which makes me happy. I've been doing GS for upper body and the other platform for lower body. I plan to stick with those for awhile. Once I can start increasing...

    Well DH didn't feel like going to the Condo, and DS1 had to take the girls to and from work on Friday and Saturday. I'm a little disappointed that we didn't go. I still took the time off though. I go back work on Friday, and we have to work Saturday at 6am also. I've been doing much better...

    I got in 4 workouts last week and feel great about that. I did a lower body circuit, full body, upperbody and core, and glute day. I also walked 3+ miles 2 days last week. This morning I did GS BSB and another 3+ mile walk around the lakes. I've lost so much strength. The weather is so...
