Quarantine sucks. I put on a few pounds like most when I first got stuck home. Now my clothes are tight, shirts ride up & I’m generally disgusted with myself.
My job is essential & fortunately we can work from home. We started doing these 15 minute “Let’s have coffee” meetings where we can’t talk about work stuff, but try to stay in touch with each other. What I got from the meetings is this: While those people get fatter on Oreos, I’m going to be a Type A personality. Lol.
If I get sick, I want the confidence of knowing that my several jogs per week kept my lungs healthy & strong so I can fight illness. I want to go back into the office wearing loose clothes and a smile.
Okay, sure... I feel this way now and I have a terrible habit of falling off the wagon, but I DO get back on it. I try everyday to choose one thing over another to serve me well instead of setting me back, however small. If I pick up my house, catch up on laundry but eat chips n salsa just before eating a normal lunch, I feel accomplished. I overate but my house is good. I’m coming to realize that weight-loss is a goal of mine but so everything else. Thats not permission to eat a whole row of Oreos.
I gotta keep trying & use this time wisely instead of slipping into a host of new bad habits. I’m not a slacking teenager. I’m an adult goddamnit, and I have to be the driving force behind progress. Not Reddit, not my family or friends. Me. Whose going to drink her expensive protein shakes and utilize this extra time at home to shine bright like the big achiever I am? I’m hoping ME, but time will tell right? All I can do is try.
