from South Africa
So, I haven't been around much. Hello Bee-fam from the underworld! 
Or something like that... 
Since my last update, I've gotten a job in town (not a very well paying one, but a job nonetheless) as a cashier at our local hardware store. So, I don't have a ton of time to be online. And its been an adjustment for me to get used to it, because the hours are something I'm not used to. Its 7:40-5 mon-fri and 7:40-1 on Saturdays.
Bearing in mind that we stay a whiles out of town, I usually get home at 17:30 every evening to a husband that needs love (and gives lots) and dinner and a bird baby that furiously demands attention ect ect.
Its taken some time to get into some sort of routine, and fitness has taken a backseat, hence the name of the new thread.
I've done SOME things during this time, but nothing regular by any means. I'm doing my version of 1&1 diet wise (diet is starting to get much better since I started taking a 5-htp supplement) with down-diet-days every third day.
I'm not actively trying to lose weight... I'm actually just doing 1&1 because I enjoy the freedom I have with food the next day.
Exercise wise, I did a lot of yoga in the beginning to cope with work stresses. But even that's tapered off. I have like small 10-15minute yoga classes I try to do after work on my normal eating days. I'm starting to do HIIT workouts on my diet-days. On Sundays (and sometimes Saturdays) I do longer yoga sessions.
So its not bad, its just not regular. Some nights I just want to do nothing but sit beside hubby. I spend so much time away from them these days that I want the workouts to be short, which is why I chose HIIT. The yoga is more for my mental health than anything else, but I must say, learning to breathe has helped me through some tough workouts.
Anyway, that's what's been happening in a very long nutshell and I salute you if you've mustered up the strength to actually read this far.
TLDR - I've been away because I got a job 3 months ago and I haven't actually spent much time on the internet since...This new thread's purpose is to try to get me into some sort of regular exercise routine again. And also, for community Bees ...
Peace
