I don't want to talk about it.
But, I'm forcing myself to, because having support
is what the blog is all about.
The vacation was great, the weight gain was not.
Breanna, I am so jealous you only gained two pounds on your trip. I am not
surprised at myself, every time I go on vacation half way through I get so sick
of trying to eat healthy and just start eating whatever tastes good. I'm much
happier that way, until I get home.
I am having so much trouble getting back into the
eating healthy/workout routine. My sleep schedule is still messed up from
vacation so I am exhausted and semi-depressed all day with no motivation to
work out.
My biggest mental road block is that I hate taking
time out of my day to do meal planning, grocery shopping, and most of all,
cooking. I really HATE cooking. I am a picky eater, so very few foods actually
taste GOOD to me (except desserts, of course). And the more variety you want,
the more time it takes to find and test recipes, and log the nutritional info.
Hours of work I don't enjoy - not even a little bit - for ten minutes of eating
"meh"? So not worth it. There are so many other things I'd rather do
with my time! But I don't know how to eat healthy if it's not homemade meals.
Sure there's canned soup and Lean Cuisine, but low calorie does not mean a
balanced diet - or tasty, blech.
Sigh. I probably can't make the end of the
challenge even if I try. I know from experience starting is the hardest part
and after a few days the routine will start to feel normal and positive
feedback from results will help with motivation. But I am having trouble caring
enough to do it. I spent at least ten hours sitting in front of my computer
yesterday - no interruptions from cooking or working out - and it was the best
day I've had since getting back from vacation.
I miss focusing on and prioritizing things I care about in my life
outside of diet and exercise. There must be a balance somewhere but I have yet
to find it…
