I was talking with my wife, lamenting on how I am struggling to log intake etc, and how good I was at it a couple of years ago. She pointed out some obvious things that I was missing. Over the past 1.5 years I have switched careers to a much "bigger" job in terms of time commitment, responsibility and added stressors. She is right. (Don't get me wrong, this is an AWESOME job!!) We have taken an empty 400 thousand square foot warehouse, filled it with racking, equipment, product and a staff of 40 people in just over one year, and I was and am the manager of the whole start up process. We are shipping well beyond expectation and things are simply, swell! However, I am not allowed the same luxury of time that I have had in other positions. The point of this post is not to make excuses, but to point out that sometimes we are unnecessarily hard on ourselves for "failing" when we are succeeding in other areas of our lives. Through it all, I have tried to be conscious of what I am eating, and still fit (albeit slightly less comfortably) in my new clothes. I have gained weight back, but not all of it, and I will continue to seek out solutions to my time problem. That I am taking the time to post in the middle of the day is actually saying something! I have the tools, the buddies and the support. I just have to find the balance in which to utilize them. Thanks all for reading, responding and supporting. You are awesome.
