Karlie leaned across the counter and looked at the three days of cooking alone she had ahead of her and hoped her back would give her a break. She'd worked out five days straight with her Wii Fit without trouble, ate freely and lost. So after being jazzed up she decided to get the Jillian Michaels game and really go for it. In the end she was frustrated and in pain.
But, despite the throbbing arthritis in her spine she was determined to keep going, only back to her usual Wii Fit routine. Thirteen minutes of rhythm boxing, and twenty minutes of jogging. It was all cardio. She knew her body could benefit from some strength training like the Wii yoga or circuit training on the Jillian game. The soreness deterred her from tackling it with the same gusto as cardio.
But maybe it would do some good to work out her frustrations. Her boss had scared the crap out of her and reprimanded her to boot. Told her if she had time to stand around then she'd cut her hours and she could do it at home. Karlie was so stunned she didn't know what to say. Even though she was burn cleaning her woks and company policy shays she can't leave the kitchen. Her choices were stand there or sit there.
She wondered if her manager or the store managers realized how much her job in the kitchen was hurry up and wait. In a work day Karlie probably had three hours of work to fit in an eight hour shift. That's not to say the shifts could be shorter. She still needed to be there the whole time to keep the hot case full. But, for four hours of her shift she searched for stuff to do.
At seven thirty she had and hour and a half of shift left and all that was left to do was mop. She wanted to go home and workout. She'd had fried rice and chicken stir-fry for lunch and a slice of coconut cake on her break. Plus her plan for chicken breast and Rice-a-Roni for dinner. She couldn't let soreness stop her from continuing on. She'd half logged every day. Breakfast and lunch made it on the log, dinner and sweets did not. She knew she should be more vigilant but as long as the working out kept the numbers falling she just didn't feel bad about it.
