The Troubles

[ehowton]

A couple of months ago, after the weather turned cooler, I began exercising again in earnest. Was working my way up to biking when the troubles began at work, resulting in five weeks of days, nights, weekends, and overnights. When you're working those types of hours, maintaining any sleep/exercise/eating habits absolutely suffer as they're all tied into each other in a frustratingly symbiotic way.

But wrestle that beast to the ground we did, and today was the first day back on my bike since June.

It was empowering.

I agree! It is hard to exercise when your life if in chaos. A couple of months ago I googled "how do you find time for exercise when you're working and studying full time". The results were helpful - I mainly landed on body building sites but they said you schedule in exercise first and the rest slots in. It's still not working well for me - work and studies must come first - but it's happening from time to time as opposed to never so that is good.

I know that's the case, but 70 weeks always seem to throw me off. Glad you got some tips!!
