Done with vacations, back to work
We just wrapped up the last of our summer trips. And I'm actually feeling happy about that because I've been missing my routines: I bike commute, which gets me reliable exercise most weekdays. I have a desk treadmill at work (shared with my officemates) and one at home, also helping me stay active. I get to work early, and I and often use that first hour for something fun, like this blog. And so on.
Of course I love going on vacation, too, but when I do, all those routines go up in smoke. There's nothing stopping me from doing pushups first thing in the morning like I've been doing at home. But for whatever reason, my motivation nose-dives. I get less exercise, I drink more alcohol, I eat less healthy, and feel a bit more shitty each passing day. (I do read more books though, and I love that!)
I'm happy about my summer. We made some great memories with the kids. And now I'm ready to get back in the saddle. 🐎
