I'm not feeling as awful as I do some years. I had a pretty bad cold last week and it stopped the madness. My stomach has not been happy with the whipped cream and cheese, and I had too much wine on Christmas, so I do have some recovering to do before I feel my best. Here's where I am:
Weight: not too terrible. Probably high 140s. I'll weigh next weekend at the trainer gym. My middle is a bit flabby, and I've gotten sucked back into the spanx tanks lately, which I'm looking forward to not needing.
Skin: face is actually good. Body is reacting to winter dryness
Headaches: not great. I've pretty much eliminated bready things, as I notice bad headaches after eating. I'm still feeling sinus pressure and some dizziness and fogginess from the cold.
Breathing: sugar hasn't triggered coughing in a while, but I have gotten wheezy after eating too much sugar. And I'm feeling the cold after-effects here too. But not as bad as it usually is when I start.
Stomach: has been disastrous the past few days, but I've eaten a lot of dairy. Which is never good.
Energy: also still rebounding from the cold.
Aches: lots of 'em. I'm really sore from yesterday's workout, and it's been really rainy lately so all my previous injuries are aching. I'm ready for improvement here.
so overall, room for improvement, but not as bad as I often feel when I start. Probably because I've cut bready things in general so have removed a lot of those symptoms, and haven't been to indulgent the past few weeks.
My plan is to really minimize nuts and white potatoes. I know I default to far too much of those and should be eating more vegetables. I haven't cooked much lately and am ready to do a few days of stocking up on basics and trying some new recipes. I have a light work schedule this week and time to really get back in the groove before the new year insanity begins.
