I have recently started a full time job, which is my first full time job since moving to NYC and I’m having trouble balancing commuting, working, and the gym. Mostly because I feel like there’s SO MUCH I have to carry and I don’t want to haul around a billion things all day.
I want to be a morning gym goer. Sometimes my work starts at 9, sometimes 10, so it’s not too bad to get an early gym start and I’ll try to work it around my 10am start days the most probably.
But between my lunch for work, my deodorant/mini hairbrush/toiletries, my change of clothes, my change of shoes, my lock, a water bottle, etc., I feel like I’m hauling around so much stuff - on top of having to worry about being smelly/sweaty/etc. It’s making me anxious and I don’t know how to fit it all in and carry it all around with me.
I think I will have to do my skincare and put some light makeup on at home before I leave in the morning, because I honestly can’t see myself schlepping around a makeup bag on top of everything else - even a small one. I mostly powerlift and tend to not get crazy sweaty so I don’t think this will be a huge issue.
Neither my gym nor work has any place to leave stuff overnight, so that’s not helpful.
I would appreciate any tips any of you non-car commuting ladies have!
