Or that's what I tell myself as I rather grudgingly force myself to be better. Hopefully after 21 days I'll remove the words grudgingly and force from that sentence.
In a way though, re-capturing my good habits from 2013 and the first half of 2014 feel like slipping into an old comfy sweater. Sunday night veggie chopping session? Check. Healthy lunch and gym bag packed before I go to bed? Check. Dishes washed? Check. Settling in my bed before11 pm... well, I'm working on it.
I also have to work on not being frustrated with myself and berating myself. I worked really hard for a year-and-a-half and felt so much stronger, healthier, and happier. But for whatever reason, exhaustion, a touch of depression, boredom, stress, or just sheer laziness, I let it slip away. A week's break became a month, and then more.
However, I'm relying on muscle memory to get me back on track. The planning, chopping, and organization feel like old friends that are returning to me. I'm a creature of routine. Once I make taking care of myself routine again, I'll be heading in the right direction.

I hear ya sister! I'm trying to do the same thing this year. I feel like I have all of the tools, just need to use them correctly.
My biggest thing is eating right. I started using the my fitnesspal app again. It seems to be the only thing that works, forcing you to work out and eat better. We can be friends on there if you're interested!
Yeah, just get in that routine and make it a habit! I've promised myself to floss my teeth more often because I've fallen behind (not a good thing when you have braces).
I let one night slip away, then two....the longer I wait the worse I feel. It's brutal!
I hope you're getting back on track!
