Is jet lag always worse when traveling west? That is my experience. Or, is it that the excitement of travel is gone and getting back to normal seems terribly uninteresting? I have a full day of work ahead of me. I woke up at 3:00 this morning, and as tired as I am I haven't been able to sleep a bit since. I am hoping coffee can get me through the day.
We have two kids with the flu. I did not get the shot when I got my covid booster, because I had to work and didn't want to feel too sick. Gosh, I hope I don't get it and miss a mountain of work. One son has missed work all week. "Welcome home, mom and dad. Have we got a gift for you!" We were smashed into trains with barely breathing room sometimes and did not get sick on our travels! I am hoping for the best!
So, after eating absolutely everything I wanted for two weeks, the scale is up. But, I still feel swollen from traveling, so it might naturally dip down a bit. It is time for me to rein it in and get to work. My only goals for this week are to log every bite, weigh every day, and get to the gym a single time. That doesn't seem too overwhelming, but it will get me in the swing of things. Wish me luck! I know how to do this. It is hard, but I don't want the "hard" of having these extra pounds weighing me down. One step at a time... it is going to take time!
