Spring break excitement and dread!
Wednesday, March 23, 2016
So with Spring break comes excitement and dread. The dread of the excessive temptations, the lack of routine and the tempations around every corner. I am excited to be having some time off of work to spend with the kids and hubby and to vacation but with that comes eating out and the whole lack of a routine. I love my Monday-Friday because I know what I am having for breakfast, I pack I my lunch and I plan what I am cooking for dinner. I am in control of all elements of what is put in front of me. On vacation I am not. I can not plan ahead when I do know no where we will even be or what type of food place we will even be at. I can guarantee you one thing, if it is my husband picking it will not be healthy and a salad will not even be on the menu. UGHHHH! My only saving grace is that we are cabin camping so 2 meals of the day I am planning on fixing so I will have (I am hoping) some control. Weather permitting I am hoping to get alot of activity in to counter any bad dinner menu choices or road trip choices while in transit.
This week was the first week in 3 that I finally broke my plateau and I do not want the week I come back from vacation to be a wash. I really want to continue to lose. When I started the month of March it was suppose to be the month I got out of the 200's but my weigh loss journey stalled and nothing happened for over 3 weeks. I finally lost 1 pounds but I still have 3.3 to go and I do not think I can do that in a week so I do not believe my goal will be reached this month sadly.
But I do have a doctors appointment at the end of next month and I would love to be well away from the 200's and be 192. Not sure if I can pull off 11 pounds in 5 weeks but I will try.
