Last week I was on vacation - and it was 4th of July. I had the opportunity to raid the kitchen continuously. My husband and I went out for lunch and dinner a few times. I indulged in some food items that should have never made it to my plate. (Can we all picture golden brown...as in FRIED...onion rings? Gosh, they were so GOOD!) For the most part though, I have to be proud of myself. Ordering a salad. Sticking with multi-grain items. Leaving some of the bread behind. Having just a little taste of the dip that was still in our refrigerator at the lake...and then tossing the rest of it. Drinking that water. Sending back the ice tea that accidentally was delivered "sweetened" instead of just shrugging and drinking it anyway. I found out there was vodka in a drink given to me...and down the sink it went. Having corn on the cob without any butter. All I can say is thank goodness that corn was so gosh darn good - it didn't need butter.
I would hardly say we exercised, but we did somehow manage to keep some semblance of moving. We spent 3 hours at Historic Halifax enjoying the building tours and walking around the site. We walked around a small flea market, an antique mall, the farmer's market. We worked on cleaning out the garage. I think it made a huge difference. For despite onion rings and chocolate chip cookies and three slices of cheese pizza at one meal (hey, there was no pepperoni on that pizza...I take credit for having SOME willpower) I managed to get on the scale today and found I at least had lost something! The first thing I thought? Wow, can you imagine what it might have been if I had stayed on track? That thought alone is the encouragement I need to do better - AND if I do mess up along the way, it doesn't mean it's the end of the world.
