Emissary2Ornj Posted March 13 Author Report Share Posted March 13 I have been doing some serious work lately. No formal workouts. I'm still ruminating on all that. I think the floor locomotions are really helpful in maintaining mobility and providing ways to stretch. This evening, locomotions really sounded good, so I prepped a bit and slid right into Bear, Frogger, and Crab. Even got a couple reps of Basic Monkey in. Stretched afterward. Didn't time myself, didn't plan the movements. Felt really good to move joints in ranges of motion they don't get at work. Bear felt the best; A-frame is an aMAZing stretch. Front hip flexors seem consistently tight; I'm up and down ladders a lot. Hoping to gain even more strength in my shoulders and back; I could use it when moving milk crates around. Stocking milk is actually a cardio workout for me. I still need to learn to pace myself at work. Reality is that I have a job to do, not a job to realistically get done (thanks to my husband for that wisdom). While I need to work steadily, I don't need to be tense and rushed in every movement. Opportunity for discipline and attention practice! 1 Quote "You're not in it to get Most [Recognized Rebel Ever]. You're not in it to be eligible for prizes.

Emissary2Ornj Posted March 18 Author Report Share Posted March 18 No formal workouts to report. Had a really good week at work. Inventory is next week. I'm so new I don't even know what that means, but I worked an extra day to help get ready for it. 😄There's still lots to be done. There is way more work than any one person can handle, but that's just the way it is. There are some visiting crews from other stores to help with prep, and I was able to pick the brain of one of the visiting managers. He probably spent 15 minutes with me, which is more than my managers are able to do. (That's not a dig at them; it's the reality of their responsibilities versus time to accomplish them.) I've learned a lot already, but I'm really impatient to get a top-down understanding of the processes the company employs. His input helped with that. I am surprised at and love the fact this job is mentally stimulating and seems such a good fit. I hope it stays that way. I am still figuring out how to be energized enough when I get home to accomplish some things. I have faith in the housecleaning schedule, but it's going to have to be scaled down. Husband always steps up bigtime when I'm working, so there are some major things I don't have to think about. He's kind of maxed out, and I don't want him overburdened. Therefore I need to: - Prioritize my current list of house maintenance tasks - List any other activities I'd like to accomplish routinely and prioritize them - List ideas to clean up my sleep habit - List things I'm already doing that are working - Brainstorm ideas for upping my energy after work I welcome any tips for getting things done after work when you're already tired. 2 Quote "You're not in it to get Most [Recognized Rebel Ever].
