***Note to self*** Do not go on vacation in the first weeks of learning a new lifestyle. Really really hard to eat right and exercise when out of your comfort zone.
That's right, I did it, I left town for about 10 days. My son was on spring break so I decided that we were going to go visit my sister up north. I had a lot of fun, but also struggled big time with my eating and exercising. My sister's family's lifestyle is completely different than mine. Not a bad thing for them, but it was a very bad thing for me. I was hoping to cook more than I did so I could have a little more control over what was in my foods, but because their lifestyle was very different, they weren't all that interested in eating the same foods that I was. I did do my best, but I didn't track anything while gone. I didn't know what all was many of the foods, or how much of various ingredients, so I just tried to eat less (most of the time) and decided if I gained, I wasn't going to worry about it. I did try to exercise, but again, very hard since we were constantly surrounded by 1293172389 children who wanted to "help". lol. The good news though is that I did end up loosing .9lbs between the time I left and when I weighed in yesterday morning. That was a huge accomplishment!!! Very excited about it. Now I'm trying to be back to eating better, but well, I'm having issues. I think my hormones are going wonky because today I have felt like I was just starving all day. I really hate that feeling because that is how I gained 30lbs in 1 month after it took me 4 months to loose those dang 30lbs. ARGH! I really don't want to do that again so I need to figure out how to curb the binge eating. This week is also going to be tough on me because it's the end of the month and my fridge foods are very low. Gotta restock Sunday. Only 3 days to go. I think another good news is that I think I managed to curb my eating tonight (after consuming almost a full packet of crackers). I don't feel like I'm gonna starve to death anymore. (That's what my cravings are... I feel like I'm starving and can't find enough food to put into my mouth).
Now more bad news... My sleep patterns are completely outta whack. I was very tired last night and went to bed at my normal time, but ended up waking up around 3am and couldn't go back to sleep so all day I have just felt like I am in a fog... exhausted, no energy, cold. At one point I even felt like I had a fever. I'm still tired and as soon as my daughter goes to bed I'm going to crash. Hopefully I can get enough sleep tonight so I feel like myself tomorrow. I'm very excited to try my new ZUMBA wii game. I had attempted just to learn the moves and 1 move was so hard that I gave up, but while gone, I let my niece try it and it didn't look too hard, so I'm gonna give it a whirl! ;-)
Good night, and happy loosing!
