In Which I Talk About my Insane Summer

Hey guys,
Sorry I haven't been posting. I'm kind of swamped between my 2 jobs; I've been working an average of 42 hours every week (and that's not counting the 2 "extended" Saturdays I've worked so far). Honestly, it's kind of a love-hate thing so far. On the one hand, I mostly enjoy both jobs and the money is really going to come in handy next year. On the other, though, I'm spending an awful lot of time and energy at work. It leaves very little time for, well, life. And that kind of sucks.
Another side effect of my insane schedule is that I'm not really caring for myself as much as I should be. I have no time or energy for exercise and I end up eating out a lot at work, just out of convenience. That stops now. My grandpa challenged me to start counting my WeightWatchers points, and I've been doing it for about a week now. I'm still having trouble with portion control and have been a few points over my "allowance" each day, but overall it's going well. It gets me thinking about what's going into my body and gives me some direct feedback, which is nice. And hopefully, it'll help me lose some weight!
The other part of my get-healthy plan is that I'm going to set exercise goals. I'm starting off really small; my first goal is to exercise at least once a week for the next month or so. Even if it's just a really long walk with my dogs or a bike down to the grocery store, I need to get moving. It would be awesome if someone could hold me accountable at first; anyone feel like nagging me?
I know this is a short post, but it's almost 11 here and I need to get to bed. I have to be halfway across the city and able to deal with kids at 9 AM tomorrow.
Ciao for now,
Me
