The tumble from the wagon for me is not so much eating junk. It is more eating delicious, carefully chosen, low carb options. Then eating it in bigger portions than usual. That coupled with slobbing about to avoid, traffic congestion on the roads, and avoiding social gatherings because everyone seems to want to share their coughs and colds, has meant 10 days of stagnation. The sport centres are closed, so can't do my usual swimming exercise. The wagon I need to get back on is the moving about wagon, or even the just going outside wagon. It would be very easy to continue sitting with feet up, reading and watching rubbish TV, and for that to continue until after new years day. So today, I got out into the countryside and walked in the fresh air. Observed promise of spring with bulbs shoots breaking through and some trees have blossom already.
It can be so easy to slip into bad habits not just with food, but with lack of exercise too. Guilty as charged on the activity front,but now I recognise that I will be up and out again tomorrow whatever the weather, because I know it is what I need to do to prevent weight gain and increases in blood glucose levels.
