Okay so this weekend was a particularly long one. As we get closer to Labor Day it is only going to pick up at work. After Labor Day it is pretty much an uphill battle. Because then we will be stocking up for the big 3. Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.
Don't recall if I had ever told everyone that I work in a freezer.
It runs about 24* unless your in the ice cream room which when set at the warmest is -18*.
In the winter it gets really cold in there as there is no heating system what so ever. My personal belief is that they actually pump in the cold air from outside to save money!!!!!!!
I use to be the person who loaded the pallets up wearing a headset that told me to go here and go there. Believe it or not I sweated my butt off in the freezer doing that job. I guess lifting 50# boxes will do that to you.
Would even have frost built up on my back from all the moisture.
Very physical labor.
Now I just take it all into the freezer and stage it so it can be put up in the racks. Not so physical labor.
So needless to say it is a very cold job. And I am only as busy as the economy dictates. If no one is buying groceries then I am not working much. If people are stocking up...........well you get the picture.
I really haven't gotten on the beastie in like a week. I just don't enjoy it yet. I don't know that I ever will. But I must be doing something right because I am down to 222.2 for a total of nearly 8
pounds in 2 weeks.
I am thinking about getting a piece of equipment that I used a long time ago called an ab roller (I think). Anyway you sit on your knees, rest your lower arms and elbows on this ab roller thing and then slide it out in front of you.
When I was doing that at the YMCA (5 years ago) I noticed a major change in the tummy area. After having had 3 c-sections that is where most of my work needs to be.
Aside from not feeling very motivated on the excersizing (sp) front I have been doing well. I don't think that I have gone over my cals since last Wednesday.
Just need to get up and go do it. There in lies the problem...........getting up and doing it. Sigh
So that is my update in a nutshell.
Hope everyone else had an awesome weekend.
