I spent most of today stuck behind a desk trying to work on the draft of my thesis that I should hand in by Friday. It's not coming along well. I'm definitely having a difficult time focusing in a new/different environment. Also trying to sort through data on just my Netbook versus my iMac makes a huge difference. In any case, I got a few hours of wok done but I still have days of work to cram into the upcoming 36 hours!
To take a bit of a break I decided to go or a quick walk just before dinner. It was my first proper outdoor walk since being here - and I loved it! It made such a difference to walk outside and not on a treadmill ... and breathing in the cool, crisp fresh air versus the dusty, dry air of Kuwait was such a treat! After my walk (only half an hour) I did some resistance work - tricep dips, lunges, bicep curls, side bends etc.
I know it's good that I'm doing something while I'm away but I have no idea how effective it will actually be. We'll see ...
Losing weight has been filled with ups and downs - both emotionally and on the scale. However, managing to lose weight and continuing to grow stronger, faster, leaner, and fitter has been an amazing experience. I've discovered many things about myself, and this blog has helped me keep record of those moments. I still have a long way to go, but I'm moving forward with a positive attitude as I attempt to keep Workin' it Out.
Something is better than nothing! When I go on vacation I take a complete break and though I do have fun, I usually always suffer the consequences too!! Yikes! Great work!
