For the past month, life has been fun but full of unhealthy habits. With the new house came parties. With parties come booze and non-primal eating. Throw in Hallowe'en and extra hours of work, and you end up with a grumpy Grokette who charges to the wine bottle when she walks in the door. Grok hasn't been any better -- as I type this, I'm surrounded by his empty beer bottles and wine glasses (that I refuse to clean up... because I'm nice like that!).
No one makes a change unless they see that change is needed. I need a change.
I've missed making primal a priority. I was happy in my routine and the changes I was seeing, and I want that again. I haven't been working out; having been eating very cleanly; haven't been getting enough sleep; and I haven't been playing enough (by this I mean doing anything active beyond binge-drinking!). But that's okay! I would be in a far worse state if I didn't recognize my rut. The dreary month of November seems like a good time to try to get back into that happy place... The quiet before the holiday storm.
I'm going to pen-in an after-work trip to the grocery store tomorrow to stock up on the basics: fish, meat, eggs, loads of veggies and fruit, and some nuts. I've both ate well and worked out for the past two days, and it feels nice. I also commit to drinking more water in lieu of the copious amounts of coffee and wine I have been consuming.
Here's to another go at it!
Oh, and just for the record -- I never got sick (see my last post). I felt off, but it didn't turn into a full flu or cold, but I know that my body was fighting something. I still haven't been sick since starting primal.
