I'm in Scotland where this is the first week of the school holiday which last about 7 weeks. Last year, when term started back after the summer I was wiped out after a summer of staying up late every night drinking wine and eating late meals. So this year, I've decided to use the 7 weeks to lie low and get myself into better shape. I'm still working all summer, but I no longer have to be up at the crack of the dawn to get everyone ready for school, so that's already a sleep credit. On top of that, I'm cutting out any midweek drinking (maybe a few glasses at the weekend), I'm running 5k once a week, and trying to walk for 45 mins on the other days. No snacks, 1200 calories a day and my hope is that by the end of the 7 weeks I should have maybe lost a stone (?) be rested, have a better complexion and generally feel better.
(I'm only 3 days in, so all of the above hangs in the balance…..!)
