For the past several months I have been in the process of applying, interviewing, waiting, and transfering my old job duties for a new position. I was in the engineering department in a nice cubicle, air conditioned, computer, 9 to 5 hours, you know all that good stuff. I traded all that great stuff to go to our operations department, its smelly, hot, phsyical labor and its hot. I am learning a lot and I really think it is a better postion for me, I am very excited about it.
As you may have read from my early posts I am in the midst of a weight-loss challenge that I set for myself, when my doctor told me to lose some weight. I attribute a lot of my weight gain after college to sitting in a cubicle and soda. Now I am outside and very active at work, I think this will be good for my weight loss goal.
Beside that my normal shift starts at 6:00 AM. I am not gonna lie and say “you get used to it,” That is early! But the bright side of that is that I get off early at 4:00 PM. There is still plenty of time to get home, rest my feet and then decide to workout or do some chores. As much as I hate waking up that early, I am much more productive and I like that.
So hopefully the combination of longer days and getting off work early will result in a more convinent workout time to start getting really serious about this training thing.
Congrats on the move! I currently work in a nice little engineering cube and I’m learning it may be quite detrimental to my health. I’m jealous that you get to be more active while using your enginerding skills.
Best of luck on your weight loss challenge.
