Typing this from my second (old) job. Got hired at a new place but slowly transitioning out of here so it's a 12-hour day. Started at 8 in the new place and came here at 4. Probably going to repeat this tomorrow. I treated today as a rest day but tomorrow I'm going to plan to train right when I get home. If this keeps up though I'll train before work early in the morning. Pretty tired, did not sleep great last night. 

I'm not finding this workload horrible (and I've done longer days years ago) but I've gotta say, not having much free time at home to look forward to for the first time in awhile reminds me why people self-"medicate" so much. I've never had a drinking issue and I don't touch alcohol during the week when I'm alone, but I'm looking forward to popping an edible tonight to relax. Naturally my temptation for wanting this causes the edgelord in me to say that's all the more reason not to do it.

I meal-prepped very well. Didn't have time in the morning to make coffee so I was without caffeine but I had two containers of omelette and one ceramic container mug (impulse buy at the store the other night, great idea) of beef soup I made in the slow-cooker. Just realized I haven't had any carbs aside from the minimal amounts in veggies and tomato bits.

Went on a hike yesterday, something I need to do much, much more of. Was a good 4 hours of real hiking, including plenty of uphill terrain. Got to try out my cricket protein bars that I had a sample pack for. Verdict? Best-tasting bars I've ever had. They weren't radically different but the texture was soft and they were sweeter than most bars I've had.
