So far, so good

While I did post about "getting back to the grind" on Monday, and I did eat well all day...I had the munchies that night and had popcorn and the last piece of red velvet cake. Yum! No more tempting sweets in the house so that's a plus and no desire to buy more anytime soon. The last two days had been 100% on target with my eating, and while I haven't gone to the gym since Monday, that's okay too. The scale this morning showed 136.0 so I am just one little pound away from being back within the maintenance area I set for myself...barely in it, but that's acceptable anyway. Eating has gone well today, and while we will be having dinner out tonight to celebrate my mother's birthday, I plan to make my usual healthy choice at the restaurant. My dad is also bringing a cake for us to have after dinner, and I am only going to eat a couple of bites...not even an entire piece. If I hadn't been having sweet issues lately I'd have my normal size piece and enjoy it guilt-free, but for now, a couple of bites is all I'll have. Tomorrow after picking the kids up from school, we're going to head over to spend a weekend getaway at a resort we enjoy at Panama City Beach. All of the rooms have kitchens so the plan is to take healthy food choices with us and to cook/eat in the room. That way we can enjoy the trip but not over-indulge. Hopefully with all the swimming and walking on the beach I'll even come back weighing less which is always a treat after being away from home for a few days. I also made our hotel reservations for next month for our trip to South Carolina. My nephew is graduating from Marine Corps boot camp at Parris Island and I simply cannot wait to see him!! I know the 10 days leave he will have after boot camp will pass much too quickly but I plan to enjoy it and am counting down the days! Good luck with your continued healthy food choices...and remember, stay focused on the end!
