About a month ago, I graduated from college and began working at Oldways [2] full time. Entering the “real world” is really not as scary as adults want you to think. Transitioning from a long-term intern to official employee has been both fun and educational. Besides, as long as I don’t have to write any more 15-page term papers, I have no complaints. My only real struggle as an official adult so far is finding time to exercise. I went from essentially being able to arrange my class and work schedule in any way I pleased, to being busy literally all day Monday through Thursday (thankfully I have Fridays off until September. A big shout out to our office summer hours!) Sure, I could just give up on exercising during the week but I worked hard to get in shape over the last few years, and I don’t want to lose that. So, without any further ado, here are the three best pieces of advice I’ve been given to help me transition to a busy and fit working girl. (Thanks, Mom).
Remember that the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid [3] features daily exercise, and that’s just as important as eating a healthy diet. So no matter how busy you are, find a way to get some sort of physical activity. And please, feel free to share some of your own tips with us! Trust me, I need all the help I can get. — Chrisanne
