Taking the Week Off

So after a little bit of thinking, I've decided to take the week off from the exercise routine. I'll still try and eat healthier but I'm not going to care about the 4.6K calories or the 10K steps. I'm going to allow myself to eat unhealthy snacks guilt free, if I feel like them. I don't like the constant pressure that I've been putting on myself recently and I don't want to have any of those stupid thoughts if I have something when I know I shouldn't have. I plan to get back into it from Saturday. 
Part of the reason is that I need to organise myself with some healthy snacks and the other part is the vertigo and I'm suffering a little from hay-fever or the onset of a cold. 
On Wednesday I'll have been on call for two weeks again and I think I have next week off and then I'm back on call for a further two weeks. I haven't been as put out by being on call this time around as I was last time, I guess I'm just more used to it now. I haven't been wanting beers as much which is good and I think I struggled with that last time I was on call, not so much that I wanted them, just knowing that I couldn't have them if I felt like it.
I'm considering taking Friday off week so I can go camping on Thursday night but I still haven't tested my microphone and I don't want to find out that the audio is crap. Maybe I can head out one on Tuesday or Wednesday after work as I won't be going for a walk.
I feel bad that I haven't put more effort into going motocamping and the whole business of filming it. I think that may be because I have been so focussed on losing weight and exercising at then disappointed with my results so it's kind of put me off my game completely. That's another reason for taking the week off. 
I have a fair bit of physical work ahead of me this week too so I don't think that I'm going to spend all day sitting at my desk. It wouldn't surprise me if I ended up getting over 10K steps just at work the next few days like I did today. 
I do need to start going to bed on time and make sure that I get enough sleep as recently I've not been getting enough. I want to get back to waking up on time and feeling refreshed properly. I don't like hitting the snooze button half a dozen times and still feeling tired. I've been running about 15 to 20 minutes later that usual and it's been making me feel rushed in the mornings.
Just knowing that I'm giving myself a break is already doing wonders for my head and hopefully it will give me enough of a reset that I want to get back into everything like I did a few months back.
