I've really been trying hard these past few days to get back into the swing of things with my diet and exercise. Thanksgiving didn't give me any trouble - heck, I lost 6 lbs in the two weeks surrounding that holiday. Christmas, on the other hand, my determination and willpower gave less than stellar showings.
Successfully falling back into the routine is proving far more difficult than I had anticipated. I find myself so hungry at the end of the day that I gorge at dinner, and I'm not even setting the calorie intake as low as it was before. I'm trying to ease back into it by starting at 1800 calories per day, and it's just not keeping me full. I realized I'm not giving water intake as much attention as before, so we are going to try to up that in the hope it will fill in the gaps.
I don't even want to get started on my ambition as it pertains to workouts. I find it so much easier to cut calories than to burn them. Workout time doesn't leave me feeling refreshed and accomplished, it just leaves me feeling sweaty and icky and wanting to take a nap.
I don't know what my problem is, but February isn't going to be the month to fix it. I have drill this weekend, I'm going to Columbus next weekend, and Michigan the week after that. Upheavals in my daily routine do not lend themselves well to my overall health & wellness. Grr.
