Today is the 13th day in a row that I've exercised and the 12th day since I've become unemployed. I was released from employment as part of a downsizing in IT. Losing a job sucks, even more if you liked what you do. However it's not exactly been champaign and strawberries lately, and the time and stress of the last several months had taken a toll on my desire to get in shape. I was making good progress in dropping weight for a while, but the last 4-5 months had seen all of that pile back on.
So anyway, unemployment provides many opportunities for growth. I intend to use this time well by learning, exercising, and developing new habits and skills. One goal I've given my self is to exercise every day, even if only for 10 minutes. This has been great in keeping my sprits and energy up.
Here is what I've done so far:
Thursday 9/26 - Biked for 30 minutes, walked for 20
Friday 9/27 - Ran 5 miles
Saturday - Treadmill for 30 minutes, weight machines for 20 minutes
Sunday - Biked for 30 minutes
Monday - Ran 5 miles
Tuesday - Body Pump class at the Y
Wednesday - ran 5 miles
Thursday - weight machines for 30 minutes, treadmill for 20
Friday - Biked for 80 minutes, about 14 miles
Saturday - Bike for 45 minutes
Sunday - ran for 30 minutes
Monday - bike 2 1/2 miles, about 15 minutes
Tuesday 10/8 (today) - Body pump class for a hour an 25 minutes on the treadmill
Tomorrow I have another 5 mile run planned, though I might decide to go for 6 or 7.
