Hey!
Fall is finally here! That's right, this past weekend was the beginning of autumn. In addition to pumpkin spice everything, weather is generally amazing during this time. Being that I live in Houston and work in Galveston, fall rarely really exists. It will be 90 all the way to December. But a "cold front" came in this past weekend and the weather is EVERYTHING.
Right now, its a cool 82 degrees (hey 82 seems far from cool but Houston has 100+ summers) and I am committing to working out during my break.
When will I have time to eat? Well, if you are lucky like myself, you have a full hour of break. For the first 30 minutes-chow down. And by chow down, I mean eat sensibly. For the next 30 minutes, get active. That doesn't mean you have to run a 5K during your lunch time. Really, you shouldn't want to be sweating that much anyways. Low impact works great. In fact, I plan on just walking the university campus that I work at.
But let me check my privilege- everyone doesn't work on a big campus or anywhere spacious for that matter. You can close your office door and do pushups, situps, get some stretching done, or you can walk the parking lot at work.
One thing that I won't be trying-and wouldn't recommend is skipping lunch to work out for the full hour. Of course you want those extra calories burned-HOWEVER skipping meals can lead to binging, and you need that fuel (food) to get up and workout.
Just try it with me for a week. I bet after those first days of adjustment (aren't the first few days of trying a new workout just HORRIBLE?!) I'll have so much more energy to conquer the second half of my day!
Welp, tell me how your journey is going!
XOXO
Jess
