Hi. Happy Thursday!
I’m getting into a bit of a routine now with the new job. Dressing business casual has been an adjustment to my normal jeans and hoodie sneaker ensemble but I’m more comfortable that I expected and I’m looking forward to the coming months when I can wear flowy tunic tops, capris and sandals.
Business casual wet hair.
Driving in has some pros and some cons. I started listening to podcasts while I drive and it’s so much better than listening to the radio play the same 2 songs over and over again. (Sorry Justin Bieber and Taylor Swift!) After being his guest on one of his recent podcasts I’ve been listening to some of the latest episodes from Denny at DizRuns including one with Jessica from rUnladylike. My commute has been anywhere from 40 minutes to about an hour and 15 minutes and the podcasts are usually about 55 minutes which is just perfect.
Last night was the longest drive home.
The distance from my office to my house is 23 miles. It took 1 hour and 15 minutes. Hmmm, Meb could probably have made it about 15 miles in that time.
I am still struggling to get my 10,000 steps in. I haven’t been taking much of a lunch because on Day 2 I was assigned a large project to work on. We just presented it last night and it was well received. Makes me feel good that I’m already feeling comfortable with the work load and learning curve.
I was able to go for a 3 mile run on Tuesday evening but other than that just some evening walks with the dog.

I’m definitely going to have to put in at least 30 minutes more of walking or a quick run each morning if I want to keep get anywhere near 10,000 steps on weekdays. And this is VERY important to me. So let’s see how next week goes.
I’ve been trying to eat healthy-ish so I packed my lunch today. A nice little turkey sandwich and some pretzel crisps. (and a 2 clementines that were camera shy)
So excited tomorrow is Friday. I’m really looking forward to the weekend.
Do you pack your lunch or are you a big lunch purchaser?
Congrats with your success thus far at your new job! I always like to see what others wear to work too. Weird? Probably, but I often find inspiration for my own business casual from real women instead of store displays or models….some of their combinations are just too out there for normal offices!
I know you didn’t ask for podcast suggestions, but my son and I love NPR’s “Wait Wait Don’t Tell Me!” podcast. They totally crack us up. If you want other suggestions, let me know! I have several on a regular rotation!
