More proof that vacations and weight loss don't mix.
At least not for me. When I'm on vacation it's SO much harder to eat
right and exercise. You'd think it would be the opposite, but I've
talked about this before -- when I'm at work I'm busy all day, and I
don't think about eating. People often comment because I sometimes don't
eat lunch until 2 or even 3pm -- I'm just not hungry earlier, or if I
am, I'm too busy to notice.
But get me on vacation where I've got nothing to do -- especially when
it's winter and I'm cold -- I get hungry. I am not too busy to think
about eating, and I stray off plan. Plus there's that voice in the back
of my head saying "you're on vacation, it's OK to have blah blah blah,
you deserve it" -- and I know I shouldn't listen, but sometimes I do.
So this week I'm up .4 kilo (.88 lb) and I'm not happy about it.
So I'm actually happy to be going back to work Monday. I do enjoy having
time off of work, but I'll be so glad to be back in a structured
routine again. And I really want to focus on the commitment I made to
myself to eat right and exercise for the rest of this year -- it's
really important to me, and I don't want to lose track of that, no
matter what. So this past week was a glitch, a bump in the road -- but
definitely NOT one that will make me lose sight of my goal. I'll post
the coming week's menu tomorrow once I've worked it out.
