We've fallen off the exercise wagon over here and can no longer attribute the relatively pervasive grogginess to the sleep patterns of the kiddo, so we're going to go out on a limb here and say that having a gin and tonic or three nearly every night is not a positive thing. Sure the new job is stressful (in the invigorating sense of that word rather than the hide-under-the-desk sense of that word) but that is no excuse at all. The best periods of weight loss a few years ago involved months with no (or minimal--like one drink a month) alcohol and since then we've been steadily giving back the progress we made. So in the name of healthy living here is a renewed commitment to prioritize exercise over chemicals rather than the other way around.
