Getting back to normal
Wow, let’s just say the last 2 days didn’t go exactly as I had planned. My grandma didn’t have the peanut clusters that I was going to allow myself to eat so I was like a deer in headlights. I decided to eat one of the other desserts that actually wasn’t too unhealthy (angel food cake with strawberries and cool whip) but it wasn’t all that good so I moved onto the chocolate cake with some custardy-type filling. Guess what, that wasn’t all that good, either, so I figured that maybe the strawberry dessert would taste better the 2nd time around. Nope, still not very good.
On the 26th we were headed to my parent’s house to drop off the kids so that my hubby and I could get away. I walked in the door and laying out on a plate were PEANUT CLUSTERS!!! That was the beginning of the end. I ate a couple before we left and then had a healthy seafood lunch. We came back to mom and dad’s for a party that evening and although I ate fairly well (mostly veggies and water) I had more peanut clusters. No problem, I figured, when we got to our hotel I would shift back to the plan. We relaxed for the evening and in the morning the plan was to workout before breakfast. To my disbelief, the hotel had no fitness room nor did it have a DVD player to play the workout DVD I brought along. I could have gone for a walk outside but we had fresh snow and I didn’t bring any workout gear that could withstand outdoor temps. After that it was all downhill.
At this point I’m going to let it go and focus on tomorrow when I can get back to my regular life. I can’t change what I ate/didn’t exercise these last 2 days so I’m going to try to let it go. I can tell by looking at my body that I have lost weight so that is what I’m going to focus on. I’m also going to try to remember that while I was choking down peanut clusters 2 of my sisters were doing the same and they are in this contest with me. So there still is a chance to win, I just have to kick my butt in gear. I’ll keep you all posted to let you know how it goes.
