EOFY = evil

So, my last week was pretty crap too. (Hugs to Ness!)

EOFY meant that I was working 12-18 hour days, and on top of that, I got sick as well. I also received a couple of pieces of news that brought me down.

I gave up trying to track my food and eat well because the reduced sleep and extra stress meant that I was propping myself up with caffeine and sugar. I did try to maintain some semblance of control over what I was eating, but truth be told it was not great. There was a lot of take-away and a lot of lollies and junk.

The massive hours also left little time for exercise.

Net result: I gained 2kg. I'm hoping that most of that is retained water brought about by increased sodium intake, but I am not kidding myself: I probably did put some of that on under my own steam.

This week's focus is all about eating wholesome, healthy food. I've upped my fruit and vegie intake, and while I am still drinking some coffee I know that eating good food can only help my body get back to normal. This week I am also having a holiday from tracking food just while I get back on track.
