Working 50-60+ hours a week doesn't leave you with much time or energy to do anything aside from sleep, take care of household duties and of course work. |
I think you about have it nailed right there. Days I work the latest, I don't exercise, regular days, I always get some thing in weather a walk with the dogs, time at the gym, or a run. (Used to be bike...grrrrrr...evil creation...see my broken clavicle thread). Amen to too much work causing us to be sedentary folk.
