Day Five: "Balancing Act"

So much has been made about the "work-life balance" issue these days that it has become something of a cliche. Nonetheless, we can't deny that if we are working from 7am until 7pm on weekdays, we are spending 3,120 hours annually at work, or the equivalent of 130, 24-hour days in the office. Add in some PCP training and food prep to that, and it's a delicate balancing act. It's a slippery slope if you skip a day in there so the key is to just keep powering through.

I am not a morning person. I can work late, etc., but it seems like I can go to bed at 6pm or midnight and still have the same issues getting out of bed in the morning. I knew today was going to be a busy day at work and I also have a regularly scheduled gym session on Wednesday nights so I pushed myself to get my exercises done this morning at 6am. I am not sure if it was better for me to do in the morning. I think it's still too early for me. I was more useless than usual with the jump-rope, and we were up to 70 each set. Since I had done my day four exercises around 9pm the previous night, it wasn't ideal to step it up a notch. Back to the evening for me tomorrow, I think. I can't wait for the weekend when we can do the exercises mid-day when we're awake and more warmed up, but not tired from a full day's work.
