Hello and welcome back!
I gotta say today I am not a happy camper, but I will keep moving on. On Monday I will be heading back to the office after only being given a two-week notice to get my affairs in order to prepare for the return. I love how my company does things…
I am not looking forward to this. Of the 15 months I have worked for the company, I have worked from home for 14.5 months. I never got the full tour, found a spot in the lunchroom I liked or was able to make that one good work friend. What sucks the most is that I waited 13 months to do something about my weight, and now that I have a system, it all has to change.
That one is definitely on me.
So here I am afraid.
Of what? I do not really know. I am in control of whether or not I continue to work out or how I eat. I control if I stay true and not let the vending machine tempt me (I have not had snickers since I left the office).
I am in control. So then, what am I afraid of? I’m afraid I will fall off the wagon or let my anxiety get the best of me. I’m afraid I will fail and never succeed at losing weight or being healthy.
As our country opens back up and things return to normal at a hectic, hurried pace, I have to remember that I’m the one responsible for what I do or don’t do next. I can pull my big girl britches up, buy new clothes because nothing fits and return to the office a woman in total control, or I can complain about how I can’t stay home anymore like a big baby.
Seriously, I want to complain while on the floor with a snickers bar in my hand, but I’m pulling up the britches and getting myself together. I will not let my fear deter me. I am fortunate to have an office to go back to, and I need to find a way to work fitness into my new schedule.
If you have recently returned to work after being home during the pandemic, let me know how it was for you. Also, if you have any tips on staying focused or finding time for fitness, I would love to hear them.
Until next time my friends.
Stay safe.
