hun, i took a 307 day break. I gained back 10 lbs. I can tell you SCRAP the old and focus on the HERE AND NOW. Just get back in it, realize what didn't work last time and that this is a JOURNEY. it is not a race, it is not a marathon, but a JOURNEY. Make a plan, and most of all REMEMBER the thoughts and attitudes that caused you to STOP being on plan.
i had to tweak a lot of things. For me it is Nursing School. Every break I do better, every time I go back, i get derailed. Having strict schedules DID NOT work for me. Counting calories made me too nuts about it. So I switched to the exchange system. And now do alternating routines, without a set schedule. when one thing is sore, i work the other. I committed to the fact that the exercise wasn't EVERYTHING the food plan is the most important detail. If i feel burned out or Overwhelmed on the exercise, stick with the food plan, and I will get back to the exercise when i am ready, most of all don't just stop!
so far so good. We had a break, and I got back into it heavily. I find myself slacking on the exercise, especially now that TOM and last exams and ESPECIALLY finals week is coming up...but i stick TO THE FOODPLAN. I am still going. I plan on getting through the next two weeks on plan with exercise as I see fit.
