Last Day in Texas

Well I failed to blog the rest of my days while in Texas. Not because I didn't want to but simply because I forgot. There was a lot going on with the murder of Vinnie's cousin and now the passing of my aunt. Overall I am doing okay but stress is definitely there just from the sadness of it all.

Each day I have felt really guilty about the way I have been eating. Our big meal of the day have all been delicious and I totally enjoyed them .. to the point of not considering my health when I dipped my portions out. Last night's dinner was the best as far as health goes. We had salmon and salad and I did have a biscuit with it.

The other meals each day were also okay. My healthy cereal for breakfast, light lunches such as a sandwich on whole wheat and mustard or a veggie pizza. Most of my snacks were fresh fruit. And then came the banana pudding.

I knew without a shadow of a doubt that I wasn't going to be good with that. I ended up having 3 servings a day for 2 days straight. Then after that I had a small slice of lemon pie a couple days in a row. Not to mention the bites of fudge once in a while. Geez, I did better than this over the holidays.

I can't blame it on anyone but me although I can try to say it's Mom's fault. LOL Every time I get around her I get all excited about food. She and I both love to cook and try new recipes so that seems to be our main focus throughout our entire visit. Other than knowing that I have probably gained this last week and half, I wouldn't have it any other way. I really enjoy spending all this time in the kitchen with her.

So early in the morning we head back home. Mom is cooking breakfast for us (no grits or gravy this time) and then we are off. I still have our Nutri Grain bars and Granola Bars in the car for our snacks and I still have some G2 to drink on the way home. Hopefully I will be wise again on the trip.

I generally weigh in on Monday mornings with a group of friends of mine and we all report in to each other. I think I am going to walk a couple times a day and do my other exercises the rest of this week before I have to weigh next week.

Weight is always a struggle. How we handle it is up to us.
