Frustration Ensues

It has been so hard to stick to my guns about the workout plan. Working 11 hour days, 4 days a week has proven to be very difficult. On the bright side, I have begun using My Fitness Pal again, figuring that if I can't make the time to work out, I can at least keep track of my calorie consumption and keep that to a minimum - reducing my chances of at least putting on any more weight and body fat. I did manage the first bike ride of the season last week, and that was so awesome. I've really missed getting out there, feeling the wind, being out in nature, and having so much fun that it barely even feels like a workout. I was off work from the hospital today and still went into the office to see four clients. It gave me a little taste of what to expect when I begin working there full-time, and I can already tell I'm going to really enjoy it. One thing I will have to definitely keep up though is my social life. Not talking to anyone all day (besides clients, anyway) then coming straight home can become rather cumbersome and depressing if I don't watch it. This is why I plan to continue working a few shifts a month at the hospital, not only to keep my name and face out there for referrals, but to also continue with the social aspect of the job - as I do really enjoy the people that I work with. The idea is also to be out of work in enough time to work out - or even go in late enough so that I have time in the morning. Currently, I work at the hospital from 7:30 - 3:00, then see clients until 6:30, putting me home at 7:00. The problem has always been my ability to say "no" to new clients, and continuously overloading myself on the schedule. For instance, I already have a full schedule next week (including one person scheduled Friday which I NEVER do) and I have three more people on the cancelation list, which basically means if I have any cancelations, those spots should be filled with at least one of the three people I have on standby. This means no going home early for me, which of course means less time to do the things that I SHOULD be doing, like working out. In any case, what I would like to do is take the bike to the office a few days a week and ride for at least an hour or so straight after work. That way I'm already out there, I have no excuses, and I feel physically productive for the day. Unfortunately, a part of me somewhat knew that this could happen when I began the Insanity program. :( This certainly doesn't mean I've given up entirely on the workouts - I still plan to complete the DVD's when I can. I just don't think it's going to be feasible for me to do them consistently, and especially not the six days a week that it requires.
