So the saga continues with the long bus and metro rides. I'm exhausted, and it's only Wednesday! I haven't been sleeping well lately, which I know is not going to help with my weight loss. The more stress I'm under, the more my body holds onto weight.
I'm getting used to the long trip, though. I'm making wise use of my time. In the morning on the bus, I put my makeup on and read a book. In the afternoon, I read a book or play Bubble Breaker on my cell phone. The time goes by pretty quick. The bad part is the lateness in which I get home. I'm thinking I might drive a couple of days a week and ride the bus on the other days, that way I'm not coming home late every night.
I didn't workout today, but I did have my 30 minutes of walk time between work and the metro. I also did 30 minutes of hula hoop tonight too.
Hubby is out of town this week. I'm out of town for 2 weeks starting Monday. And then he's out of town the last week of the month. Needless to say, we aren't going to see each other much this month. Yeah, more stress!
I hope everyone is doing great and staying motivated.

You've still got us
Okay, I admit it - we are just no substitute for a nice big hug from your hubby, but we can try
Is this travelling going to be a permanent thing? You may need to consider a job change - scary I know - but you'll burn yourself out if not careful and that's obviously a bad thing.
I'm still trying to get the hang of the hula hoop - I know it will click with me if I keep going at it.
Geez that sucks about you and hubby working out of town so much! Sorry also about the commute. I guess I take for granted that I live 3 miles from my office. Yes, I could walk if I wanted to. The bus runs every 15 min and it is like a 10 minute ride and then maybe 10 min worth of walking total. SORRY!!
Hope you are able to relax and rest this weekend!!
I feel your pain, I used to have to commute to go to work, but now I live in town so I just walk to work! At least you can amuse yourself easily. I used to even make up stories about the people I got on the bus with. Heehee!
I've been having difficulty sleeping lately too. It's hard, but try to make yourself not think, and just listen to your breathing. That normally knocks me out after a few minutes.
Well now it's monday, what's been your status since last Wednesday? I know that sometimes when we are stressed it goes on and on for days. Hopefully you're recovering!
I'm sorry you're not going to see your hubby much this month. That has to be tough. Does that happen often? Keep yourself as busy as you can. Curl up with a new book or go out with friends. :)
Long hours on the bus are dreadful. I take the bus to work in the morning, thankfully hubby picks me up in the afternoon. I like to use the time on the bus to read a book or listen to music.
Hope you are settling in ok and that stress isn't getting you down. Same thing happens to me, by the way. If I am very stressed, my body hangs on to each gram for dear life!!
How long is your commute? Living on the other side of the river from you, I understand how frutstrating traffic can be here! But good for you for using your time during your commute! Maybe find a few good books to read?
I just went through and read your past few posts. Glad to hear that you found a way that works best fo you in getting to work. Coming through DC just plain sucks traffic-wise. But what a great area you are in now, so much around there and close to Pentagon City too!
Yeah, more stress!
