Bit late, but I've been working away from home this week. I only travel daily but it always upsets my routine. The first day I didn't take lunch and the ONLY place close was a convenience store without a vitamin in it as far as I could see! The other days I took food and was fine, but it's always a challenge when routines change.
I'm just going to recap for myself the habits I've established:
Pint of water first thing, at lunchtime and in the early evening
5 portions of fruit and veg a day
Thinking about food as I eat it (ooh, I've only just remembered that one...)
1 portion of nuts and seeds
Eating every 3-4 hours
Exercise - walking quickly rather than slowly
I found that walking quickly enough to be out of breath has been a good way of starting to exercise. I do this when I'm walking to work etc and that's been fine. Next habit will be to add some 'proper' exercise (like everyone else has been doing since January!). I'm going to aim for once a week - either swimming (doing intervals) or a proper walk with the dog. Actually I may try for establishing a regular brisk evening walk with the dog. Usually I do something in the day but it's a bit hit and miss and this would be additional to that and I wouldn't have to carry a heavy bag.
Hmmmm thinking aloud... Weight seems about the same, although I'm on my comedy scales that fluctuate by about 14 pounds depending where I put them and how I stand...
Khris, hoping this week has been less stressful, Elly that you're feeling better, Mo, that recovery is going to plan, medusa that your trip has gone well, Msmaven that DH's recovery goes well and Welcome Nicole!
