It’s been a while since I posted anything. Unfortunately, life has a way of biting you right in the a$$e when you least expect it and it can take it’s toll on everything you do. Because of life events I have been unable to go to the gym regularly (to be honest it has been sporadic) and my eating has been, to say the least, more processed foods than healthy and nutritious. Life has been full on so finding time for any of these things has been difficult. That said it will not last for ever – I know that, but it still seems difficult to get back to where I was and adding to the mix, I have feel bloated and basically eugh (such a good word). I also know any changes are down to me but it all seems so far off and where to get the time????? I’m not great at meal prep – the hours I have spent googling/instagram whatever looking for good ideas (I probably could have done prep to last 2 weeks by the time I have looked through everything!!!
I’m due to go on holiday in a couple of weeks and can’t wait – but because of the way things have been I haven’t gone down the road a lot of folk do by hitting the gym, dieting and all that goes with it. My thought process has basically been because my routine has been thrown out the window this past few weeks – I’m going to refocus and restart when I am back – I don’t want to be on my holiday worrying I’m not getting enough protein or exercising or how many steps I’m doing (although to be honest I think I may achieve hitting a lot of steps)!!!
I suppose my whole point here is about not beating myself up because things have gone off track for me – not always an easy thing to do but I am trying. I am going to go off on a well deserved break and enjoy every minute, not thinking about the things I cannot change, try not to worry about what is happening at home, or what I am going to be eating or drinking but am going to enjoy the company, soak up all the sights, the sounds the food and the drink.
I hope, if you have managed a break, it has been a good one and have enjoyed yourself. If you have not managed to get away – please be kind to yourself and take time out.
Here’s to hard work on my return!!!
