When you are working out and in a routine, your whole life seems easier. That is what I have found recently, because I actually stopped working out for a while; partially because I have been busy planning/reorganising my life and partially because I am excellent at making excuses. I found myself irritable. Just ask my boyfriend. It was like having PMS but at the wrong time of the month – and once a month is bad enough! I also had no energy and couldn’t be bothered to do anything. I found myself snacking throughout the day to try and find energy and I even had a nap last week, just because I knew it was better than eating the entire contents of the kitchen cupboards. Over the past couple of weeks, I have been trying to get back into the gym most days.
