Sunday, July 30th 2023: Lots of positive energy!

Productive work!

Yesterday I worked at my in person job and that went pretty well, mainly chatted with coworkers after I made some phone calls since it wasn't a busy day at all.  I got work done at my online job early this morning so I could walk with the babies before their first nap. I changed my work schedule so that I only do one and a half hours earlier, then one and a half in the evening for a total of 12 hours a week (since I plan to have 3 days off a week).  That way I get in more hours and help in the evenings, which they need at my job, but I also still get to have shorter shifts and more days off.  To me it seems like the perfect schedule so far!

Improving back health!

So far I have walked today.  I also did yoga for my back posture since I really want to fix my hunch back I have going on.  It doesn't add anything good to my appearance and I also get upper back pain if I stand too long.  Even as I type on my bed, I propped my laptop on two pillows to keep things more at eye level.  I'm also sitting up straight and trying to use proper typing form, looking minimally at the keyboard.  My back is already a bit sore from doing this but I think it's because it's all new to me, so hopefully I will acclimate soon.  Every once in a while I'm bending my spine down and resting my head so that I get some rest that way.  I can't help but wonder if my slight top-heaviness is contributing to my back pain.  It's kind of like I could use smaller breasts, but I don't want surgery for that.  I think by losing weight, stretching, and strengthening my muscles, I'll be just fine.

Relaxing day ahead!

I'm being productive and also looking forward to some hobbies.  I might get out to do some groceries, but that won't take long so maybe I can make it to the library with the babies!
