Well, life was being life and I didn't know how to get past the obstacles it was throwing at me so my plan fell apart. It is embarrassing to look into my own eyes in mirror (not to mention that wobbly belly!). There was this idea of starting over on Monday (what is it with starting fresh on Monday?!) but I was too weak to say no to some more Christmas goodies. And we are still going to bed way too late so there's snacking happening every night.
There is this pattern of everything collapsing during school holidays. It wouldn't be such a big of a deal if I would pick my game up after school starts again. That's where I fail. Also summer holidays gives plenty of time to fall back into bad habits and not feel motivated to challenge those. Pretty sure the solution is very simple - even though children are at home, I still need to keep my routine happening. Even if it means waking up before them! Which obviously starts with going to bed early enough to be comfortable with it! Why am I not doing it? Because my partner and I like to stay up late and sleep in in the morning. Now, yes I am able to change my habits on this but I can't expect him to change. Never understood really how families cope with one partner going to bed early, other late? Where is the time spent without children there?? Also, I tend to wake up when my husband comes to bed later and sometimes can't go back to sleep which is extremely frustrating.
