Fluff Friday
Another week has gone by. This week I freelanced onsite at my old company… did the "9 to 5" thing. (I never finished at 5) I AM POOPED! How did I do it before? Workout in thw am, get home, get myself ready and the kids, pack my lunch and my girl’s food for the day…
Work was supper busy. Originally was assigned one thing then, then pulled to put out another couple of fires. Then back to the original project that needed to be fedex’d out last night. I got home late last night and still had more work to do for some other clients. Work for me lately has been in waves. Crazy busy then quiet as a mouse. The wave is in.
This week has been filled with too much coffee, mini 3 musketeers or mini snickers, belated birthday lunches, stress eating and late nights. I’m surprised that my stats aren’t higher.
Took pictures this am but not much to show so I will spare you my wrinkly gut. Went up on one and down on another and stayed the same on the third. Didn’t run as much this week due to schedule and rain. This past Wednesday it was raining out so I went to the gym to run on the treadmill… It was torture. Running in the same place the whole time. It’s a lot easier to give up on a treadmill than it is outside. Outside you need to get home! lol

It’s raining out right now and hopefully it will clear soon. I would like to get a run in today sometime but I have a lot of work to get done.
Gotta go, need to tend to my girl. Oh yeah, today is the summer solstice so as a promotion for Jolt energy drink, they were able to change the name of Barrow Alaska to Jolt Alaska just for today. They all need the extra caffeine for 24 hours of daylight!
Here is a picture of the Mayor of Jolt, Alaska (Barrow, AK) and a sign I made for the occasion. I can now say that I designed a sign that was displayed in Alaska

Ooh, neat-o sign, LJ!! I definitely had some ‘oopsie’ moments, too, but thankfully my stats are the same as yours! Hope the work stress wave eases up a bit - have a wonderful weekend and kickarse 4th week!!

Nice! Clean cut impactful sign. You’re too cool
Yup, I hate when work gets in the way of fitness. At least you did what you could. This week I couldn’t run outside either (or bike). I love the rain, but not so much when it impacts fitness for days on end.
Hope you have a wonderful 4th week. You are still in the race, that’s all that matters. Just go hard (curling?) next week

LJ, You are awesome! It’s tough to stick with it when other things creep in to take over our time–our lives, but you are doing it! Even with cheats, your body is recognizing the work you’re doing. Hang tough–it’s halfway over already!

My workouts are my selfish personal time and when work interfers it is very hard to stay focused…..keep the mini-whatevers as a treat when a great workout happens…reach for soybeans or something like cashews if you find you are stress eating…keep it up! And what a great graphic you’ve designed!

It is tough to fit it all in but I know you can do it. Sounds like you are ready to kick butt in the next part of this six week challenge!

Yeah that is my life also. To much work and not enough workouts and personal time. Still going to kick ass on the time left and look good in the bikini …12 hour shifts are tough to do a workout after but i try hard…Hopefully you get more time to fit it in this week..
