I went in to vacation having lost 5lbs since this all started. Well, good thing! I gained back 3.5! Yikes! That was easy.
I found vacation brought out good and bad behavior...first the bad...
1. I did not get all my water in.
2. I did get more alcohol in. ;)
3. I did not do my crunches.
4. Portions at restaurants are huge!
5. Apparently laying in the sun does not burn calories.
6. I did not eat breakfast most days.
now, I'm proud to say there was some good...
1. I focused on chewing and eating slow.
2. because I ate slower I left food on my plate.
3. I walked every day.
4. I did not stress about anything for several days (then the cat got an abscess and we had to have our daughters deal with that and the vet, so there was a little)
5. I had some really good food... well I guess that could go under bad as well...
6. I did limit my coffee intake to one a day.
One of the best things? I got the call to schedule my psych eval! It's July 14th after work. Seems so far away I know, but time will go by fast I'm sure. The "paperwork" online to fill out was crazy. Took me almost an hour. They really want to make sure I understand what I'm signing up for I guess.
Now that we're back, what have I done? Ok, I'm back to the crunches (ouch! should not have taken a week off) and I've started protein shakes. Just for breakfast. 8 ounces of coconut almond milk, 2 scoops of powder and a pinch of nuts and coconut flakes and 5 or 6 ice cubes. I love, love, love my ninja that I can mix it up in (20-30 seconds). It holds me about 5 hours...but then, I am STARVING!
So, vacation life has shown me that I really need to get into good patterns before we retire in two years. Taking a day to splurge is one thing...a week is something else!
Thank you for taking the time to read and support me. I can not tell you how much all the wonderful comments have meant to me. :)
