Day 103

So vacation has come and gone, as well as one week of a missed weigh-in and...

I LOST 3.6 lbs.!!!!

I proved to myself that I can still manage in worst case scenarios and not make myself crazy over whether or not I'm going to be successful. Back in the saddle today though eating-wise and I have to find a way to incorporate activity into the remainder of the days that I'm on break. I'll also be going home to Buffalo, New York, to visit with my side of the family one week from today. It's daunting to go there because a large part of my visits there have to do with the 'tastes' of home. The food there is different and no other place in the country can do wings the way Buffalo does, or beef on weck, Theodore's hot dogs (made by Sahlens), and Anderson's frozen custard. These are tradition and staples in life in Buffalo and I will not miss out on them- but I have to have a plan to properly incorporate them and keep moving. Eh, I'll figure it out : )

Day 102

Wow! I passed the 100 day mark!

I posted for only the 2nd time while on vacation last night, during my trip home. It feels very good to be home. I ate poorly- it will be good to get back to eating right. I feel depleted without having fresh fruits and lean proteins daily. I also had many too many carbs while there. Back to business today though! Lot's of grocery shopping to do since we ran the house out of fresh things just prior to leaving a week ago. My garden had a welcome home party for me though this morning when I went out to tend to it... I have a bounty of wonderful fruits and veggies ready to go!

I'm worried only mildly about the weigh-in tomorrow. My shorts didn't seem to get any tighter while there, and since we did laundry and they could have tightened up in the wash too I feel pretty good. We'll see what tomorrow holds since I didn't weigh in last Sunday. I have to work hard to keep my self off the scale today and focus on restoring good eating habits.

Heading Home

We've left Virginia Beach and are currently traveling through Delaware. While my eating was less than ideal while on vacation there I did get plenty of activity in. Besides much tinge on the beach and in the pool, I discovered kayaking! It was awesome kayaking in the Chesapeake Bay and I'm thinking of getting a couple of kayaks for my hubby and me : )  I'm mildly worked about the scale on Sunday seeing as I didn't weigh in last Sunday. Tune in Sunday to see what vacation did to my waistline...

Day 1 of vacation.... (day 96)

Well, eating has not been great today. But I'm not out of control. I'm realizing that I need to be able to adapt to real life situations where I cannot always create the best environment. I'll do alright. But I'll do my best. And in the meantime, I'll play lots of hand and foot and get lots of sun!
