Back to work
Well it was nice while it lasted - two weeks off work, to laze around the house not doing all those jobs I’d promised myself I was going to do when I had some time off. Weather could have been better, but it wasn’t too bad.
As I’ve mentioned in a previous post, the non-drinking, healthy-eating, Konjac-taking regime took a bit of a hit while I was off work. Actually, it didn’t just take a bit of a hit - it was completely knocked on the head. Plenty of unhealthy food, and way too much to drink have probably completely wrecked all the good work that I’d previously done. But hey, I was on holiday. I still don’t own a set of scales so I have no idea how bad the damage might have been - which is probably a good thing, as it would probably be a bit depressing.
So, back to work also means back to doing things right. I’ve re-started on the Konjac today (I did keep taking my other supplements while I was off - just didn’t take the Konjac) and yesterday’s beginning of the month shopping chore stocked me up on plenty of bottled water and fresh fruit and veg. Hoping that it will be quite easy to get back into the normal pattern.
The other thing that I need to back into normal patterns is going to bed at a reasonable time; while I was off I found myself staying up as late as 3am just looking at crap on the Net. This has been a slow one to recover from as my body got used to being up late but sleeping late in the day. Last night I finished an online chat about 10.45pm and thought “Time for bed”. Around 1am I was still awake, thinking “If this goes on much longer I may as well just get up!” Of course, once your body realises that you’re having trouble sleeping, your brain starts to wonder why. Which makes it even more impossible to sleep. You start to think about all sorts of things - some good (plans for the weekend), some bad (how crap you’re going to feel come 6am), some impossible to answer (which is better - ouzo shots or kumquat shots) - and that takes you even further from the realm of sleep.
