It's Friiiiiiday!

Morning and Happy Friday!

It has been a busy start to the morning here at work.  I am super excited to start the weekend.  I work a 10-hour overtime shift on Sunday.  Saturday is my annual Hawaiian Party so I am anxious for my weekend.  I am excited to see all my friends and family.

I was in communication with the supervisor at Nampa PD yesterday and received some really great news last night.  They are going to be able to accommodate our trip to New Mexico at the end of the month.  Kenyon’s family is having a family reunion and I’ve yet to meet most of his extended family.  I am super excited and was really happy that the switch to another agency won’t ruin those plans. 

This new job has one hour of paid workout time ,most days built into the schedule (staffing levels permitting).  I hate to say that I think I am sort of holding off until then so I’ve got a reason for forced activity.  I just don’t seem to have the drive right now for activity.  It is sad.  I see people out walking and riding bikes and I think to myself, “that used to be me.  I used to find a reason to walk or ride my bike.”  I am making plans to walk to my WW meeting tomorrow morning.  No excuses!

Speaking of my WW meeting, I’ve been avoiding my scale at home this week.  I don’t think the number tomorrow is going to be pretty.  However, it is a necessary evil that I get on the scale.  I need to see that ugly number to shock myself into healthier eating.  I have been very lax with my food choices and my tracking is non-existent.

When I woke up this morning I had some back/hip pain.  It is worse when I sleep than any other time.  I couldn’t help but get a little bummed wondering why I can’t seem to keep the alignment of my hips in place after PT.  Oh wait, I know why.  It’s because I don’t do the exercises at home.  The same is true for my weight gain.  I can’t help but wonder why I can’t lose this extra weight.  Oh wait, I know why.  It’s because I don’t do commit to my healthy eating and activity.  Sigh.

It is too easy to get depressed.  So instead, I’ll just stay focus on the Hawaiian Party fun on the agenda for this weekend. 

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
