I really need to figure out how to do this when I work nights! It was a lot easier to get into a routine when I just worked days, with none of the switching around. I will keep trying different things, though, until I get it to where I can consistently do what I need to do.
I didn't get in a scheduled workout each of these days (4, 5, 6, and 7) but I did get some in. I worked day 4 and day 6. Day 6 I did my scheduled long run (4 miles) and Day 7 I got some extra walking in at work overnight.
I'm so tired when I only have 1 day off in between but that's really no excuse. If I'm awake, I can take 20 minutes for myself.
I'm trying to learn to be gentler to myself and know that when I don't do things perfectly it's because I'm human, not flawed in some way.
Today (day 8) I work dayshift. When I get home tonight, I will either go for a walk or do some in home workout. I really wish I still had the dreadmill! It made things a lot easier when I got home in the dark.
Have a good day, people, and remember to be gentle to yourselves. You are worth it.
