Today I left work at noon, and I could have done anything....
but I *chose* to go to the gym!
After yesterday's frustrations, and more aggravation today, I accepted the fact that I can't change anything. And maybe it isn't anything I'm meant to change. So I just moved on. I did my portion of the job and when I had a discussion with the individual of my "Frustrations" post about his leaving early as there is no overtime allowed, he pulled a "so-and-so told me it's ok". (The so-and-so doesn't work with us!) I calmly discussed it with management, and when they didn't have a clear answer, and my co-worker was an hour into overtime, I decided to clock out and leave. Ohh how I wanted to just find an eatery and use food to calm the agitation. Instead, I grabbed a water and headed for the gym.
A half mile on the treadmill, 7 minutes on the elliptical (my thigh muscles are out of shape!) and another half mile on the treadmill. Leg workouts, some stretching and a few arm exercise and I headed home. Frankly, I wanted a nap SOOO bad, but Sadie had other plans!
It's been a hard journey, in 4 weeks, I'm down 5 lbs. OK. That's not quite what I was hoping for, but at my age, ANY loss is a win! I just gotta keep on keepin' on!
