I have been trying to make it a habit to wear my FitBit pedometer as much as I can. I hook it onto my bra in such a way that no one can tell I am wearing it. That helps me make sure I have it on a majority of the time.
This week has been so crazy with the week ending release that I have not been able to go walk much. I do walk the dogs, but that is not enough. Most of my time has been spent sitting at my desk or in front of a computer working out issues that have "popped" up all of a sudden.
This morning, I have to be in the office early for the beginning activities for the release. I am praying that it will go well and I can relax for the rest of the weekend until Sunday night. That will be when I have to pull an all-nighter, which I am not looking forward to doing.
I was talking to someone the other day. He stated that he only has to worry about pulling all nighters for release weekends. Basically, he only has to do it 3 times a year. I am getting to the point where pulling all nighters is having a really bad effect on me.
In college, that was to be expected to pull all nighters because you either procrastinated or wanted to do really well. Now that I am in my mid-forties, it is getting more and more difficult to recover. It used to be that I could recover within a day. Now, it takes a week - sometimes longer. I noticed this recently. The other part of the recovery problem is that one cannot get the necessary rest needed, so it does take longer.
I still need to look for ways to get more movement into my routine. However, the pedometer is actually helping me see where my downfalls are.
