27th August – 2nd September 2017
This year seems to be going really quick and the summer is almost over. I have always loved the summer – a time to relax and wind down.
This summer, eventhough I have relaxed and had time to unwind, I have found it really hard. I just haven’t been able to concentrate on my diet at all. I have managed to do a little exercise but nothing like I was doing before the summer started.
The kids have been off school now for over 8 weeks. It has been long enough for me to pick up some of my old bad habits. I am hoping it is also short enough to get back with my good habits quickly and easily.
I have to admit that over the summer I have put on a little weight. It’s only half a stone but I have struggled to get it off since.
Over the last few weeks I have been preparing to get the kids back to school. It is usually a busy and expensive time of year. There is usually lots of school uniform, shoes (4 pairs per child) and stationery to purchase.
I am very happy to say that next week the kids go back to school, and I go back to normality.
Well I hope I can go back to normality. I have for a few weeks been craving a little bit of routine and normality. I am looking forward to getting back to my normal exercise regime too.
I am hoping with the kids going back to school that I can get back motivated and I don’t sit and waste another 8 weeks of progress.
I totally hear the craving routine! My older two go back on Tuesday and my little one on Thursday. I’ve enjoyed having them home but now the end is in sight….
You’ll get that weight off once you can refocus. You know you can do it.
