Resolutions

I kicked off my healthier life style last week with a bang. Exercise three times a week, 5:2 diet on top of that. My week days suddenly had a whole new rhythm. I didn't realized how preoccupied I can get with food. On normal days there is too much of it, on 500 kal days there is the constant thinking of what can I have, when, if I can squeeze a cup of tea in and what would I fancy to eat if I could.
It is doable though. And it feels good. Aching muscles feel good. I forgot how great it feels. To have a hungry day and go to sleep knowing that I did it is great.
Sweets are my weakness. I have to work my way through the rest of the stuff I still have in the house (I don't throw away food - specially not my favorite biscuit!) and make sure I don't bring home anymore.

So only one week in and I feel better. Until before yesterday. Dear child got a cold, symptoms started on Monday, by Wednesday afternoon husband and I started to feel funny, too. It is the first time of family sniffles, usually it goes from one member to the next one and husband tends to deal with it for about two months while the child is better in a week and I am allowed about of two days of official misery. So we all walk around with runny noses, snore together during the night, cough and  sneeze non stop and clear away tons of tissues. And I have got no energy left to exercise. And to plan special meals (or no meals) feels like too much effort.

I will have to take couple of days to recover and start afresh. Because I like it. Husband needs to feel ashamed by my crazy fitness and get motivated, he could do with some proper life style kick, but so far he just observes me and assumes it will past. Well, I am not him. I stick to things!

I am also writing a page a day and summarize an idea for nanowrimo in my head. It is interesting, once I have got one thing in my life moving, the other issues start to shift, too. It seems that the summer is over, our long weekend will not be spent camping, I can catch up on all my to do lists, kick away my sniffles and get going! There is no stopping me.
