First weekend away on the program...


This weekend we went to Cincinnati to visit my in-laws and some friends. Travels always make it a bit challenging to stay on any program. You are out of our controlled environment and nothing is routine. However, instead of making myself crazy about how I was going to stay on this week's path, I decided it best to try to go with the flow and perhaps take a few detours. After all, isn't that what life is all about - learning to take the route that you sometimes didn't plan and enjoying the journey more than the just the destination. I think i did a good job - I tried to make good choices when we dined out = 4 times over the past 3 days. I went as far as to tell myself today that I could order whatever I wanted for brunch, but that I could only consume half of what was served to me. It worked well -and to be honest I felt totally satisfied :) Tomorrow is my one week anniversary of my commitment to living a healthier life. I am amazed at how different I feel in only a weeks time. I am can't wait to see how I feel two weeks, two months, two years from now!
