Air horns and exercise

I wasn't intending on writing a new post every day, but somehow, here I am, posting again. Sorry.

Again I am enduring incredibly loud concrete sawing/drilling, and other sounds that I can't identify that sound like air horns or the tools used to remove lugnuts from tires. I wear earplugs, and they help, but only so much. The concrete sawing/drilling is constant now. It's so loud that my desk vibrates. Also, there is something being used that smells like really awful, strong paint or turpentine and I'm having a hard time believing that inhaling the fumes is good for my health.

I hope everyone else is having a good day today, free of noise and air pollution. 

Last night I was so frustrated from the noise and being cold at work (from people constantly going in and out and letting the cold air in) that when I got home, I was motivated to take out my frustrations via exercise. I had a nice workout, and I hope to continue the trend. Not that I want to be frustrated every day, but I do want to be motivated to exercise more often. Last week I was looking at a scrapbook my mom made of pictures of me growing up, and I used to be so slim. I know I'll never look 16 again, but seeing those pictures made me yearn to be healthy and trim. Since I've gotten married, I've gained weight, and I'm heavier than I've ever been. I used to exercise regularly, and it kept my weight where I wanted it. I have long since let go of my exercise routine, and the high metabolism that used to be my friend in my teens and 20's has betrayed me by slowing down once I hit 30. It's hard to be disciplined and commit to exercising regularly. I've tried a few times in the past few years, and I ended up making excuses for myself or just letting the opportunity pass me by. I am making a more determined effort this time, and even though I know myself enough to realize that there is a high probability that I will fail again, I am going to try.

Good evening to all.
