Distractions and Busy Life

When I signed up to Round 2 of 12wbt, I thought it was the perfect time to do it.  Life was settled and I had a discussion with my husband about the need to really commit to this round and go hard.  He was so supportive and assured me that he was on board to let me focus on it.  So, sign up I did and got started.

THEN, along comes the flu, sick kids and a new job offer at work.  All within the first week!  Last round I ended up with a chest infection for a few weeks and had a cold for 8 of the 12 weeks!  I really don't want that to happen this time!  Fortunately the flu didn't stick around too long and the kids got better quickly too.  But the work side of life is out of control.  I am in meetings all day every day and that means no time to get any work done so I'm having to do that late at night.  I feel like life's gone nuts.

BUT, somehow, this has spurred me on even more.  I lost 1.7kg this week!  All my exercising was done late at night.  I even ran along the road at 9pm with a head torch. Something I never thought I could do.  I went to Zumba and it was a really disappointing energy level night, so I went for a run afterwards!  Then came home and worked. 

Somehow being so busy has put me in the right space to continue exercising.  And you know what,  it makes me feel so much better and I feel more awake and alive that I am actually more effective at work.

I guess the old addage that if you want something done, give it to a busy person, is right :-)
