This week I:
– Gained 5.8 lbs. (296.0)
– Didn’t drink all my water everyday. Utter fail at the con and while driving.
– Didn’t go to the farmer’s market (out of town)
– No new recipe this week. Very little cooking occurred at all.
I still need to:
– Finish cleaning out the fridge
On the plus side.. the Con was great and I had a lot of fun. Also on the plus side.. I ended every meal having eaten only about 2/3 of what I expected to eat.. and stuffed full to the painful point. On the minus side.. there was a lot of chocolate.. and seriously.. you’d think after the second or third meal that I’d get the point and stop eating before I got stuffed. I think I could have done a lot better.
What I learned: It’s ok to eat out.. it’s even ok to go out of town.. but I need to take a tighter grip on my “I’m on vacation” mentality and say “no” to candies and chocolates. Honestly I think that was my biggest downfall.
Tuesday and Wednesday I had training at work (and had no leftovers at home) so I bought lunch out. Tuesday night I went to Etaine’s for sewing night (no dinner).
Thursday we left for Anaheim and got home late Sunday night.
I also noticed that I became constipated and a lot less regular.. I’m happy to be back to “real” food.
