Good Morning everyone!!! Today couldn't be a better day....I don't care that it's rainy and gloomy out...inside this house it is all sunshiny!!!
So why the good mood you might ask? I have finally been blessed with a Full Time Job!!! I am so so thankful for this amazing opportunity and I just still can't believe that I got this position. I start Monday, and I am so nervous and excited all wrapped in one!!
Now when I called my family to tell them about finally getting a job after all the stress of not having one, they were happy, but immediately reality set in. I'm going to be working full time, opening and closing some nights, and working certain Saturdays during the Month. So when will I have time to work out? What if I slip up during the stress of work and cheat or am just too tired to work out? Since we are hiring a full time sitter, I talked with Hayden about possibly going in the morning before work to they gym and just taking advantage of having the sitter there early. I have never been one for working out early in the morning, but if that is what it's going to take to get my work out in each day, then so be it! Have any of you made it a routine to work out in the morning before work? If so, how does that work for you?
Now as overwhelmingly excited as I am about this position, I am so sad to be leaving Alayna every day. I have just enjoyed spending this time with her so much. It's been such a blessing to be able to stay with her and watch her grow these last two months. She is so intelligent and creative and funny and just FUN to be around! I will miss her, but I know she will be in good hands. And will have some friends to play with every day! I think this will be such a great opportunity for Alayna as well. Now as soon as she gets off the waiting list for Daycare, she will be going there, but until then, this is such a wonderful alternative. (as sad as I get about leaving her each day!) I think we will all just have to get used to the new schedule. Whether that is Alayna getting used to having some new friends at the house with her, Hayden getting used to me not being home when he gets home, or me getting used to working full time again...it will all work out! And I couldn't be more thankful that things ARE working out!!!
Thank you to everyone who has had nothing but encouraging words for me! You guys all got me through this last month when I was feeling down. It all paid off!! So now off to enjoy my last couple days with Alayna at home!!
First of all, CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is so exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteNow, my thoughts on working out in the morning or after work:
I feel like it all depends on what your hours are. I wake up at 4 a.m. for work, so getting up earlier to work out would just be INSANE. When I worked later in the morning, I still found working out in a.m. difficult. I was sluggish and wasn't giving it my all like I would if I was working out in the evening.
But, just like dieting and exercising, you have to find what works for YOU. I bring my workout clothes to work and change right before I leave, that way, I'm more inclined to do it.
Some people feel like they have the energy to get a good workout in in the morning, but it just doesn't work for me. Give both a try and see what feels better.
Also, I've been reading your posts since you started and wanted to let you know how inspirational you are. I have recently gained a lot of weight back that I lost, so reading your posts gives me determination and confidence to get back into shape and be HAPPIER in general!
Thanks again for sharing your journey with everyone, and CONGRATS!!!!
