Back at the office for day 2 from holidays... omg its hard to get back into this routine after taking a break. Of course - there is really not a lot going on here that is keeping me busy.
Which lead me to my first epiphany of the year....
Stopping doing something for a significant amount of time makes its twice as hard to get back into it. I'm no rocket surgeon, this is not news. You all know where this is going. Lifestyle....Diet.... Exercise....Water consuption....
I'm really happy to report that I didn't say "EFF IT" over Christmas and just go all out on the eating and laying around. It would be three times as hard to get back into the water and eating habits if I had stopped.
As it was, I didn't track all my days of water and I guestimated a little more than usual as I had a less structured day. I'm finding it a little tough to get back into logging in my spreadsheet and making sure I have all the details. But I'm making myself do it.
Last night I had a little victory. I got home and the weather was HORRIBLE. Its bee pouring rain and storming... but I knew that I needed to get some exercise in. I asked the Hubby if he was interested in a quick walk in the walk in the rain. He was not. I had a fleeting moment where I thought, "I can make it up later". And then snapped out of it.
Later NEVER comes for me. Its always about here and now.
So I told him I was going out there - put on my long pants, long sleeve shirt, vest and a ball cap and headed out to the park. It was deserted, but I did my walk - I even did a couple little stints of ...*gasp* running. You know...just to try it out (need better bra!!).
Woke up this morning with that slight nice heat in my legs to tell me that they had done something. Pounding back my waters and had a big cottage cheese and pear breakfast. The rain is still here - but today is looking brighter already.
Welcome
Thank you for stopping by to perv on my blog, as I fight myself to change my old habits and make new ones to get fit. I don't get it right all the time, but I'm still here and I'm still working at it.
Tamzins Double Dog Dare You Ticker!
My homage to the 14lbs that I lost on Allan’s DDDY Challenges. A watering can for the vast oceans of water that I have learned to drink and love every day.

You 1 - Rain 0
Go on with your bad self.
And you don't have to tell me about schedules. I am sticking to mine even on vacation so next week won't be a b*tch to get back on it.
I'm back to work tomorrow so indeed i'll know what you mean :)
Good for you on getting out in the rain!! Your getting hard core :)
Running in the rain?? That's awesome!! I know what you mean about getting back on track.. I only had 4 days home and that was hard enough! Good for you getting back on t though!
Later never comes for me either. I just need to suck it up and do it. Good for you! Walking in the rain shows determination and you've got it. I've fallen out of my routine of tracking food, eating right and walking. Today I will do all three.
Oh, NICE committment to exercise! That must have been hard, but you have the PERFECT idea to just stay on track (which is harder than it looks)! :)
