How do you deal with a small potluck dinner party on Saturday night and a baby shower on Sunday? I lost two pounds last week and gained them back over the weekend. I brought a huge green salad to the potluck, but with only two other couples, I had to be polite and try the food they brought as well. I did skip the marinated asparagus wrapped in maple bacon and dripping in butter--my well-known vegetarian claims saved the day there. But I couldn't avoid everything other than my own green salad. And I have to admit, I didn't want to go to the shower since a certain relative of mine is being a pain in the butt right now. So, I stress ate my way through the afternoon then topped it off with a slice of pizza last night.
And so, I begin again with the daunting threat of five days of vacation this week. We are headed to the British Virgin Islands to a spa type of resort, so I think I will be able to make healthy choices there. I also plan to hike or workout in addition to yoga every day. So, who knows...maybe I'll leave a few pounds in the Caribbean by next Monday! :)

Sitting here in 3 degree weather I would be more than willing to take your place at the spa....it is the LEAST I could do to help you achieve your goals. Seriously, I think it is easier sometimes to stay on track on that kind of vacation because you can avoid all the between meal snacking AND you have more time and energy to work out rather than being exhausted from work. Enjoy the trip and be mindful of healthy eating and activity!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful time and that you come back refreshed, heart, body, and soul. Love you!
ReplyDeleteI'd just like to point out that a slice of pizza is not a whole pizza. It contains some healthy ingredients. And, if you let yourself, consuming it is an entirely enjoyable experience! xoxoxox
