working world

Well, so far work isn't so bad, my legs seem to be adjusting once again to eight hours of standing. The problem is, who wants to work out when they have been on their feet all day?

I did manage it two days ago, did a half hour treadmill and leg excercises after work. And my lovely wife made me a healthy lunch with apple and carrot sticks. So I felt virtuous after that. Hopefully the trend continues.

I must confess though, work is boring. It would seem that keeping such a standing job would be good for me so that it should keep going. But..... the job itself was a bait and swith, they told me it was managerial and so far it has been the position of glorified clerk. We shall see.
At least I make more than the other clerks.

My fatness seems to rage unabated though.

wish me luck

standing hurts

Well, I have officially joined the realm of the gainfully employed and discovered that standing does indeed hurt when done for long periods. I used to know this but the reality was a bit of a slap after seven months of holiday. Oh, holidays, if only they could never end! What this will mean for weight loss is hopefully obvious, sitting all day burns less calories than standing all day. Also there is less access to random junk when you can't eat whenever you like.
In a way though it is disappointing. I think that once again work will have to substitute for my will power so that any future periods of holidays will be uncontrolled free for alls as nothing is learned:(
Of course, that is sort of a disaster prediction that does nothing but discourage so let's pretend you didn't hear it and go back to thinking positive.

I think that if I can stick to my diet while working the weight will come off. I also think that my leg excercises must continue since the old knees definately started creaking by the end.

bleah

sittin around...

Now, today I realize that I have been sitting around accumulating fat molecules for a couple days. It is appallingly easy to lose whatever little fitness you have stored up. After only a couple days it seems like the excercise is harder and my breathing heavier than ever. The thing that is annoying me is that I know in my head what has to happen, I have no excuse, I even feel like the key to the eating plan has been placed in my sweaty chubby little hand and yet.... action has failed to materialize lately.

It must be psychological.
Dammit.

What would I possibly gain from not acting on all the things that I know make me healthier?
Answer, I don't have to change anything.... is that it? It seems like change would be such an effort. No, that isn't the answer, it doesn't seem right.
Reluctance coming from......????
Well, I am starting a new job on monday, and my selfish voice tells me to sit down and rest now, enjoy the last days of freedom before they are gone since then the holiday will be over.
Is that really going to help when I have to stand at work for hours on my fat little feet? No.
So what is it? I don't know.

Suggestions for this ennui?

I am also thinking that work will force me towards being healthier in order to cope with the demands of work.

wish me luck
