Work-a-holic

It’s 10:01pm and I’m just settling down after a long day in the saddle at 1 full time job and another part time job. It’s consuming my life. I don’t ever think about anything but work. I don’t have much time to do more than work. And when I’m off — I’m so tired from work, I can’t do the activities I want.

Something’s got to give! I’m wearing myself out. I’ve always considered myself a hard worker. Is there such a think as working too hard? In todays society, it’s sadly very rarely seen. I don’t mean to bash America… but face it. We’re flabby, fat and lazy.

Another sad point I have to make is I don’t even have time to cook or grocery shop. So that forces me to eat the unmentionable. (whisper it quietly… fast food…). My sister is a dietician and she coaches people with serious health problems caused by being overweight. She would cringe if she hear me admit I eat fast food almost everyday.

What happened to the lunch box days? I used to pack an acutal lunch for daytime camp every summer for 4+ years. I drowned that habit in a pool with my best friend Kelli. Soggy lunch is to __________ as toy is to happy meal.

So, what is the solution to not having time to exercise and eat right? Organization? Time management? Planning? Remembering? Discipline? And/or all of the above.

I’ve heard simply changing one thing at a time. Take it slow and steady, adding in another challenge when the previous challenge doesn’t feel like deprivation anymore.

I’m very open to suggestions.
