Yesterday was a much better day with regard to food. I brought my lunch and dinner to work and I ate on schedule. I wasn't "perfect." I still had cravings and I succumbed to them twice. The first time was when I was looking for someone after a particularly stressful meeting and she had a jar of those tiny, bite-size snickers bars on her desk. I ate two of them. When I got home from work I had a small handful of nuts. The candy was obviously off-program. The nuts are an on-program food, but they were not scheduled into my meal plan for the day. Still, it was a much better food day than Tuesday was, and I am almost back on track. I mowed the front lawn yesterday and I now know why Jackie keeps saying we need to get a self propelled mower. That was work! I need to mow the back lawn tonight.
I am happy to be getting back on program and I am looking forward to losing the few pounds I gained while on vacation. It's funny how hard it is to maintain a program when I am not at home. I start strong, but each day longer that I am away from home gets a little harder to stay on program. Of course, having the five kids with us didn't help much!
Our vacation was a huge success! We decided to take our time getting to and from Idaho Springs, CO, and I am glad we did. The drives going both directions were like mini vacations of their own. The meat of the vacation was our camping trip with the kids. Here are a few photos of our family:

ReplyDeleteThanks Anne!! It's amazing how much more fulfilling and enjoyable life is as I'm getting older. With age comes wisdom and perspective. It's a good thing!
