So I decided not to do it.
I had every intention of sticking as close to healthy and on track as I could while we were on vacation but the minute we crossed over into The Keys and I saw that clear water, those sunny skies…and those marina side restaurants my mind and stomach became one and started calling for, “Fish and Chips.” It was a hard call to ignore, let me tell you – so I didn’t. I will say that every meal I had that was off diet I was telling myself, and my family, that the next meal or the next day would be better.
Riiiight.
I got to a point, many baaad meals later, while eating a delish corn bread muffin and a plate of macoroni and cheese at the Hawk’s Cay buffett (we visited for their 4th of July celebration) where I finally got honest with myself and my people and annouced that I was on vacation and since my willpower stayed at home I am just going to enjoy myself.
And I did. I enjoyed myself through every meal and margarita. In the back of my mind, though, I could not help but be a little scared at what the scale would say when I got home. So, I convinced myself that I would go carb free this week to get back on track and not weigh myself again until next week. But the more I thought of that plan, the more I knew it was a cop out. I did the crime, I will do the time, so to speak. No one forced me to eat the way I did and I am a big girl so I need to see the consequences of my decision.
Therefore, in closing, I did weigh in this morning and was surprised to see that I had no gain, no loss. Which means that either I was very active this weekend and burned a lot of those extra calories or that the weight has not hit yet. I am playing it safe, deciding that its the latter, and have already started a carb free week and will be hitting the gym as well. That no gain, no loss is too close a call for me.
As long as you had fun!!! I totally believe that if you deprive yourself it’s just going to be worse later!! No worries, now you’re back home and back to your routine!!!!
lol Mel, I love the honesty. Hey at least you stayed the same, which is actually great. Keep up the good work this week. Your doing fab.
Ha ha…It was going up and down and up and down those stairs that kept the weight gain at bay, if you had a 2 story house you probably wouldn’t need to diet…wouldn’t that be loverly??!!
Love ya!
