Give and Take

I had a great mini-vaca to Florida. I got home last night, and this morning jumped right back into clean eating and keeping track of everything.
I did some good things, and some not so good things on vacation. I chose fruit for a snack on two occasions, but I chose peanut butter cookies twice also. I chose turkey, took a grilled chicken sandwich off of the roll, and had an egg white omelet, but I also chose to eat a few chips with one sandwich, and chose to add mayonnaise to another sandwich.
I also knew coming home that for 2 weeks, I’ll be keeping track of every ounce of food I eat, measuring, checking, double checking and keeping track of calories to a tee, while we work on figuring something out.
I let go a little more than I should have, but on the other hand, I was surprised when I’d catch myself, and make a good choice again. I was more lax than I should have been, but then I also made some redeeming choices without much thought.
Either way, I’m home now, and back on track. Thursday through Sunday showed me just how easy it would be to get back into the habit of bad patterns I once had on a daily basis.
It is amazing how much easier it gets as you go along. I have been cutting out sugar as much as I can - somedays I slip up or go wayward because of a few too many birthday parties in a month, but I’ve gone from being a mountain dew addict to drinking unsweetened tea and eating sugar free pudding if I’m craving something chocolately
It’s getting to me now that if I do eat something sugary I think it’s too sweet, which makes me so happy!
Great and honest blog, I’ve enjoyed reading your past posts and following the changes in your pictures, you’re doing a great job, and it’s okay to have a little fun eating things that you avoid when you’re on vacation as long as you don’t overdo…sounds like you had a great time!
