Oh, bother

Well, it's January! A traditional time for diets, exercise, new year, new you-ing. Based on my previous self-improvement kick, you'd think I'd be very gung ho.

I'm more like gung NO.

I feel so tired, lazy and unmotivated. The Christmas weight I gained is laughing at me, daring me to try and lose it. At work I'm lethargic and unmotivated. I'm finding excuses not to exercise. And food? Well, last night was a burger, beer and ice cream.

I am f-ing winning 2015.

Obviously something needs to change. My goal for January was to do my core exercises daily to strengthen my back. Somehow this goal seems like both too little and far too much. Too little, because I want something that will kick start my motivation, my weight loss, my energy & excitement. Ten minutes of clam & bridge poses doesn't really fit the bill.

But it also seems like too much because, well, EVERYTHING seems like too much. I think it's just a bit of post-holiday ennui, but the smallest tasks feel pretty insurmountable these days. Mountains are molehills.

So here is where I stand. At the beginning stages of January, unsure of how to proceed. Start the Whole 30 again? Recommit to the 80/20 program (something I never figured out)? Try to simply focus on moderation? I'm not sure if I know how to do that.

Now I am nearing the end of this blog... and I'm not closer to knowing what to do.

Let's see what tomorrow brings!
