It's been 3 full days since I got back from my business trip, and I'd just like to know--when am I going to stop waking up every morning feeling like hammered shit?
I can't decide which is the primary factor in this--the 18-hour workdays, the crappy takeout food, the lack of exercise, going from central to mountain time and back, readjusting to the heat and humidity, or just the fact that I'm nearly 70 lbs heavier than my body wants to be. It's probably a big ol' combo platter of all those things, and I just need to work my way back to an acceptable routine. However, it's starting to work my nerves. I can't make myself do the things I want to do. Things I need to do.
For the past 3 days, I haven't been able to drag myself out of bed before 7:00, even though I've gone to bed before 10:00 the previous night. Today, I was totally planning to go to the 5:30 spin class at the gym--I went to bed at 9:30 last night, made a mental note of where all my bike clothes were, set out my gym card, etc. When 4:45 am hit, though, sleep won out. I told myself that I would bike commute instead, but then snooze-buttoned my way past that deadline too. I finally made myself get up at around 7:30, with just enough time to take a shower and hit the road. I brought my workout bag with me, and I'm hoping to at least get a walk in later...though I'm still fighting the urge to nap, and my attention span for anything is about thislong.
The good news is, I haven't gained any weight. (Haven't lost any, either, but I have to look on the bright side here.)
