Good Morning FS buddies!!

Was MIA yesterday-- hubby was told Wednesday afternoon that he needed to drive down to northern California (just past the OR/CA border on the coast) for a job. He had to leave that night after already having been at work since 6 am, and it is at least a 6 hour drive! I wasn't real thrilled as that was my 'blues' day anyway and really didn't want to be alone. He came home to get some clothes to take with him and while he was getting ready, he asked what my plans were for Thursday. I told him I was going to be working from home doing some things for work on my laptop-- soooo.... He suggested that I go with him! :) I called my sister in law to come spend the night with the kids, grabbed some clothes, and headed out with him! I'm glad I went-- we didn't get to the hotel until 1:30 in the morning, then had to be up and out of there by 6:30 to finish the rest of the trip and get to his job site on time. After doing the two jobs he had, we turned around and drove back, getting home at 9:30 last night. He was really tired doing all that driving on just about 3 1/2 hours sleep!! I was able to get some of my work done on the computer, including something I had forgotten about, as well as some reading to prepare for my new position, AND spent a good amount of time with hubby and getting some ideas of things we might want to do for our upcoming anniversary in November...

Besides that, not much else going on.. Meeting with my coworker today to go over some more stuff having to do with my new position and his (we are switching roles basically). Have to schedule some more meetings with other coworkers as well. I'm so excited about this new position, but am starting to feel overwhelmed (self inflicted!). I have so much going on in my mind and so many things I want to tackle!! A friend/coworker who I've known for almost 14 years told me yesterday (via email) not to overload my brain too much... I'm going to have to reel it all in at some point, but I have to first figure out my priorities with all of it. I guess I'll probably have to meet with my boss and get her input for that part of it.

Nutrition and exercise still not doing great, especially after spending basically 15 hours straight in a truck yesterday-- not much room for activity in that situation, and snacking is a great way to keep from being bored and getting too tired ;(. We did, however, stop at an outlet mall on our way home and both of us bought new Nikes, so we PLAN to get back to the gym more regularly.

Gotta get ready for work! Have a SUPER FANTASTIC day FS friends!!

Good for you for getting out and away! That in itself can be quite a feat, I know. ;) New work out shoes and a plan of attack on the nutrition front should get you back on track to a better eating regime. ROCK it up!! :)

Nothing like a new pair of sneakers to inspire you to get to the gym! Sounds like you're adjusting to the new job and preparing yourself for the normal stress of the learning curve. You can do it!
