Work Out

These days with the rain and sun coming and going, I haven't been to the beach. I might tomorrow.

The other thing is that I have been working at a job that is very taxing on my body. When I was younger it was easier. Now it is so hard to get through the week. I feel I need to rest more. I am no longer used to being on my feet for 8 hours a day.

It really takes a toll on my body. Its so difficult to admit and to deal with. The way I have been dealing with it, is taking my vitamins and sticking to the diet my Dr has me on. The rest is getting enough sleep and using my cooling lotions on my legs when they are tired. I have had to use quite a bit of pain pills, I don't like to, but there is no getting around that one.

On my days off I have been taking my dogs for their walks and getting a good stretch. The rest is making sure I have proper foot wear. The younger girls were flats with no arch support or high heels. Both of those would kill me. The good thing about being on my feet, I am not gaining any weight.

I am trying to work up to 40 hrs. So far working two 8 hr days kills me and I have to lay down. Today I have a short shift and I am grateful for it. I have a lot I am grateful for, and having a job, even an exhausting one, is one of them. It can be a bit of a work out on the job, at least I'm not wasting away on the sofa getting fatter.
