Who knew the process of taking back my inner pin-up would be so difficult. Wait! I did! When it comes to motivation some days are better than others. Today is a good day. I got a bit more sleep last night so feeling more energetic than I have the past few weeks. I sometimes forget how important rest is not only to my physical well-being, but mental as well. When I’m rested I fell more inspired. I want to tackle things head-on instead of sitting around waiting for something to happen. Empty snacking goes way down, and I feel the need to move around more. All necessary functions when trying to take back my inner pin-up!

The downsides to this shift are 1) going to bed when the sun is still out, 2) waking up when it’s pitch black, and 3) missing time w/my hubby. I have been working this early shift (6:00-2:30pm) for a couple of months now and thought it would get easier to adjust to. Not so much. I just have to force myself to go to bed earlier. I do enjoy getting off work earlier in the day (when not working overtime) but my body hasn’t quite caught up to the schedule. It’s getting there. Slowly but surely, it’s getting there.
