Workaholism! 02/02/2010
 
Some people undermine their action plans to goal by eating their emotions and I failed to complete my own action plans to goal yesterday but sliding back into a full day and evening of sheer sedentary work, workaholism. My sin is work obsession, and not remembering to maintain a balance in my life.  This is not a problem for one day, as long as I observe what I am doing, and make plans to, not repeat, that obsessive behaviour repeatedly.

Tina form Mummified, times, Five, blog, and I were setting up this giveaway of 10 lots of $100. value art supplies through our combined blog sites and this work had  a deadline to begin on February one and we only began  24 hours earlier. For details of the competition check here:- $1,000. Art Supply Giveaway.

I needed to dig out all the art supplies I had to spare, run them through the barcode scanner and get their valuation, and get this competition up and running.  Then before I had hardly begun, I had lots more enquiries and as a result, I have been out delivering purchased art supplies to a shop today, a shop that had not done well over the Christmas period. The storeowner was art supplies desire eager and cash short.  She was, overstocked in soft furnishings; I made an unusual trade of artists paint boxes of oil paint and a pastel box for soft furnishings for my caravan. Talk about a luxurious looking touring studio homeJ.

It has been a busy couple of productive days and I never fitted in any planned exercise and while I have certainly allowed for rest days in my exercise regime I never intended the first day of the month, the first day of a several fitness challenges I am going to do with friends, would be a rest day.

It worked out OK, though. I have been working hard on my hip extension, plank move, in Yoga.  I do not find this  exercise an easy one and I could really ‘feel’ the muscle pull yesterday, a day’s activity change and the muscles have rested, I just need to ensure I am back, building on my previous effort, tonight, no more rest days, due for a week if I want to achieve my fitness improvement goals.

One thing I always notice, when I cut back on physical activity, my desire to eat increases.  I did not overeat, but it was more of an effort that usually not to head out to the kitchen to snack on food.  A better solution for me is to go for a walk and short jogs, or to do a full, bodywork out, or a session of yoga. This action, takes away my focus on food, I feel great that I know I am making an effort to look after myself and become the strong slim, fit, senior I desire to be.

I will be watching I keep the lifestyle balance right, for the rest of the month, after a workaholic start.
