I fell into the routine of stopping at the pub when my kids were little since I couldn't get any work done once in the door at home. Well, the pandemic put an end to that and I've lost 20# in the past year due to less beer and unhealthy restaurant food.
It's been a bit of the opposite for me, mainly because of the drastic reduction of business travel. I haven't been on a plane for work since Q1 of 2020. I learned that, when traveling, I tend to eat healthier -- less snacking, salad for lunch, etc. -- and drink less than when I'm at home. And while I exercise at home, not walking several miles a week through airports, and around cities where I'm staying has probably resulted in less calorie burn. Surprisingly, I'm not itching to get back to my old UA 1K days, but I really want to get back to maybe once a month travel for my sanity (since apparently people who go to restaurants are insane
) and a generally healthier lifestyle. My "reset" will hopefully be when my work travel gets back to normal.
