What a week! I was away on vacation with very little to no internet, so posting to the blog was not possible on a daily basis. Sorry! So much to tell and share. Not sure it will make it all into this post. BIG issue was staying at a house with no scale. OUCH! Very hard to know that I was staying on tracking without a daily weigh in. I was counting points all week until the last two days. It was getting frustrating and the food choices were limiting. My diligence for the week was quite good and it paid off when I weighed myself on Thursday morning because I stayed the same. That is quite an accomplishment. I went on vacation and didn't gain any weight. Fantastic.
Wednesday while coming home we ate a late lunch at Sam Snead's Grill and Tavern at the Tampa Airport and I had a Grilled Chicken and Nut Salad that was to good! I was close to licking the bowl. I didn't give a hoot about points because it was just about the best thing I ate in a few days (just after the filet mignon my brother in law cooked on the grill). Then we ordered dessert. One slice of chocolate cake for the whole table to share. WOW! WOW! WOW! WOW! Yup. That's one wow for eat fork full that I had. It may have been the best chocolate cake I have ever had in my life. I can't begin to tell you how delicious... still dreaming about it.
Which is OKAY! Because the rest of the trip getting home sucked. Travel issues all over, including a rude man upset that my son kicked his chair. Don't even get me started. I just dreamed about that chocolate cake.
Vacation was wonderful and full of walking and swimming. I felt great knowing everyday I had earned some activity points. Healthy food options were around I truly felt on target and was happy about my choices until those last two days. It was hard to stay on track. It was getting stressful, so I ate, but tried not to overeat. Does that make sense? Well, that's not true. I ate a small second helping of pulled pork sandwich. What I had already eaten should have been enough. I believe I was just worn down at that point. But, I remembered I'm on a journey. One day here and there is going to happen. It's about the next meal or day that will make the difference. Getting back on track as soon as you can and the will be no damage.
I survived a week of vacation without a scale, slightly cut off from WW online, had filet mignon and chocolate cake and stayed the same weight. YEEEHAAAWWWWW!
