Why I've Been Silent

Hey Yall,
Caitlin here: I know I have not written in a while, but that has been for good reason....I haven't had anything to write about. These past few weeks have been a struggle. The only form of exercise I get is when I go for a walk/jog outside during the day. I have had a couple different things keep me from being able to do this. 1) Bad weather- we got 6" of snow about two weeks ago. This caused downed trees and power lines and it took a long time for the city to get it cleared up, making jogging unsafe, 2) My clients- usually they go to day programs and I get time off during the day. The past month I have had one or both clients home all day for 3-4 days in a row, meaning no time off for me. Needless to say, on the days that I did not have them home I chose to nap and relax. I would love to say that I am blogging now because I am back on the wagon, but that just isn't true and probably won't be for another few weeks. However, I have done two positive things in the meantime. First, I bought a new pair of running shoes. This way when I start running again I have a good pair of shoes to use. Second, I have not gained any weight. I may not be losing any, but the fact that I haven't exercised in three weeks, and haven't been eating as healthy as I have in the past yet I am still maintaining my weight, makes me happy. I still have a few more weeks where my clients will be home more than usual, meaning I end up working at least 60 hour weeks. Who wants to exercise after working a 60 hour work week??? Certainly not this girl. However I do promise to do start C25K again once things at work have calmed down.  How have things been going with you???

  1. That's awesome that you haven't gained anything. I lost 2 lbs even though we were on a mini vacation. About 20 minutes after we got home I was at the gym for an hour. I feel good tonight. I hope your work schedule cools off so you can get back on it. I have been getting to the gym at least 3x a week so I am putting in the effort. Tomorrow Larry and I are weighing in together to really get us going.

  2. Andi: I am so glad to hear that you have been consistently going to the gym. At this time a gym membership would be a waste of money due to my work schedule. Unfortunately with my job it could stay like this for a long time. One of my clients doesnt have the best health, so she constantly has doctors appointments. That keeps her home from her day programs, which means I work all day long- fun fun. Keep up the good work! Cait
