Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
My week is now all messed up. 2 days being stuck at home with the kids due to school closures has destroyed all semblance of consistency. So now I am trying to pick up the scattered pieces of my sanity and motivation.
I tried to monitor my eating habits and restrain myself, and thought I did a pretty good job. But there is something about being stuck at home, indoors, that keeps the body in some kind of ravenous state. It was the eternal battle of 'I'm bored, or not focused on this book/TV show/Movie so maybe I'll nibble a little something'. When the weather is bad, like it was the past couple of days, my only defenses against this were keeping busy (tough because there just weren't a lot of projects) or play computer games (since the PC is no where close to the kitchen).
Because the weather was so bad I missed out on my Tuesday run, and have postponed todays till lunch. Which means my grand training plan has been disrupted for the second week in a row. Very frustrating, I have to remind myself that it's not always about what I do today or this week, it's what I do for the whole week, or month or year.
The plus side of the 2 days at home was that Emily got 2 more days of rest to recover from the cold that kept her out of school Monday and prevented her sleeping well for several days before that. That and Daniel was even kind of excited to get out of the house and back to school.
Bottom line, sometimes life (or the weather) throws a curveball, and you have to adjust. Take the good with the bad, and move on. I will get the running schedule back, and the overall fitness program going at high speed. I just have to endeavor to persevere.
