I lost the motivation to exercise and eat healthily for a month

During the first three months of this year, I was really motivated to eat healthily and exercised about 6 times a week.

Then came the 2 weeks long Easter holiday. We traveled a lot and spent 10 days at my parents’ house, where we had way too much delicious and not-so-healthy food. Apart from the occasional walks, I did not exercise at all.

When we came home I didn’t have any desire to do any sport whatsoever. I sometimes walked for an hour or so but very rarely. I also had my birthday the week after we came home, so I had a gorgeous cake and just ate too much in general. The result: I gained about 2-3 kilos (about 4-6 pounds) during the last 5 weeks. I don’t measure myself but my clothes are very tight.

I started to research how to motivate myself to get back to eating healthily and exercise regularly.
