Feel the Burn

A lousy night's sleep ... and it's Monday as well!  
It was like having a double whammy against me before I even got out of bed!
But.
I still consider today a success!

As usual, Monday mornings at work are hectic.  The bosses were "in a mood" for sure.  And once they get that way, there's no changing them.  (lol)   So we all endure.  One of my coping mechanisms is with food.  I know, I know, that's a bad thing.  I can make all kinds of excuses.  I also know I should have had more water, and less of the food thing.   I've found that it's peaceful to have lunch at McDonald's ... no co-workers in the lunchroom trying to "talk shop".  They've also installed a TV in there, and it's always blaring.  No way to get away from it all.  So McDonald's it is! But even a simple cheeseburger/fries meal is bad for me.  Time to break that habit.  What I should really do is walk next door to the gym and do some walking on the treadmill.  Maybe.

Not sure what's up with the no sleep last night.  But for that reason, I forced myself to go to the gym after work.  I needed to tire out my body so it will sleep tonight!  

And I accomplished that :)   1 mile = 14:30  Then some resistance weight training.  I increased the weights on most of the machines; I'll be feeling the burn tomorrow !

And a new personal best:   14,036 steps today !!
And that feels great --- just GO!
