Adjustment & Difficulties

So it's been a week of "back to normal", although it's not really back to normal.

After two and a half weeks of eating almost nothing (we're talking a slice of toast every few days, basically) it's been quite difficult to get back into regular eating habits.  It's been even more difficult trying to return to WW Filling & Healthy.

Some days I simply don't want to eat, at all.  Other days I want to binge at levels of stupidity, and always on really bad foods too (salty and spicey stuff particularly).  My hydration has also been shocking, adding to the differences in daily balance.  Before the surgery I was quite happily drinking 4-6 cups of green tea a day and maybe a litre or two of water too.  During one period of this week I managed one litre in three days, and no tea.  I've certainly felt the difference it makes to daily energy levels being dehydrated, not to mention sleep.

I simply can't remember how and what I was eating on F&H before all this happened.  I know I was eating larger breakfasts, medium lunches and small dinners, but not much beyond that.  Guess I need to go digging through my WW tracker.

It's only Sunday but I'm sure I'm going to see a gain at WW next Wednesday.  Whilst the clothes aren't tight again, a couple of items are feeling snug again (especially after Friday nights chinese takeaway... yeah, I know I know).

I'm going to collect my bike from the office tomorrow, get some energy and exercise going again.  I want to do at least one gym session on Monday or Tuesday as well.  I'm missing the positive boost from not doing that, can certainly feel the difference.

Partially I've been a bit overstressed with my teaching course/Masters. I got an extension for one assignment, but it's due in on Tuesday.  The next assignment is already two weeks progressed so I'm behind on that too, and it's a group project.  Just want to get them done and out of the way.  I should be able to get the extended one done tomorrow, fingers crossed.

I could dig up and quote any number of life-lessons regarding knockbacks, picking ones self up, recovering from adversity etc but I don't need to.  I know them, you know them.  I just need to get on with it.
