Decisions, decisions
I did end up having a cheat meal at the reunion Saturday, but I at least tried to mostly fill my plate with green beans and peas. I also went right back to P1 after we left.
This Thursday is my last “official” day on P1, and I’m trying to decide what to do; we leave for vacation on 6/21, and I’d really like to get down as much as possible before then, but I don’t want to burn myself out by staying on P1 too long. I think what I’m going to try is to move on to P2 on Friday by adding in steel cut oats - probably for an evening snack since I get nauseated if I eat less than 2 hours after getting up - and do P2 for a week. The following week (the week before we leave) I’ll drop back and do one more week of P1. P1 restrictions have never really bothered me, but it is possible to get burned out, thus the P2 week in between.
I’ve also decided that, while I don’t plan to go overboard, I’m not going to try to stay strictly on-plan while on vacation. For one thing, we’re going with 5 other people (one of whom will do most of the cooking and paying for the food), and I’m not going to “burden” her with having to cater to my dietary restrictions. For another thing, I tend to be very active while on vacation and do a WHOLE lot of walking every day; 99% of the time I lose weight on vacation even when I pay no attention at all to what I’m eating. Once I get home I’ll do another week of P1.
