It’s almost midnight and I’m jusst home from the trip. Eating went GREAT, in part because of that accountability thing, but also because my brother and his wife are also trying to lose weight. So there was a lot more mindfulness and a lot less junk at hand. (Except for the kids’ fare, but that’s another story…)
It wasn’t a perfect few days, by any means, but I made generally good/better choices, even though 3 meals in 5 days were eaten at McDonald’s. My favorite comment from Adam, the body tutor, was that the BEST choice was not to go to McDonald’s at all, but if you must go… Anyway, sometimes, when you’re a guest in someone’s house, you’ve got to go with the flow a little. (Though we did go shopping and bought good snacks, foods, etc. to have on hand at home.)
Anyway, I am exhausted, and also starting to get a little hungry, so I’d better go to sleep. All in all, a very successful start and I am feeling really good about the longevity potential for this eating plan. Just knowing someone’s out there — someone I can talk to about my daily diet and concerns — that’s really great, Good night.
