Back in the game…

I quickly wanted to post regarding the last few days that I’ve been so worried for. My hubby and I just returned from a 2-night stay at a Bed and Breakfast. It was wonderful and much needed. So of course, how did I do eating wise?! Well…let’s get the bad stuff out of the way. :) I had several Diet Pepsi’s while we were away…but as of today, I’m back to NONE! They left cheesecake each night and the breakfast was of course some sort of pastry which was delicious. To the good…I kept control over my portions at both restaurants…particularly Olive Garden which I was terribly worried about. I physically cut my food in half when it was brought to me and didn’t eat the other 1/2 nor take it for leftovers. I had salad and only 1 1/2 breadsticks. And then when we got back to our room, I did a bunch of different floor exercises while hubby went to go get a drink. So…today I don’t feel like I’ve done real fabulous on the plan, but I’m not beating myself up over it. The event has passed and it’s back to work. Ahh, I did go out and worked in our backyard for several hours and it must’ve done some good physical work on me because my muscles are achy tonight.
So, anyways. Not a lot to comment on tonight, other than I showed myself that I could go out and enjoy myself and not eat everything I came in contact with. I could make conscious decisions and plan ahead so that I didn’t feel OVERLY guilty. Of course the guilt is always there for me, aside from a perfect day. (Wish we could have those all the time, right?!)
On a totally different note…are the comments left on my last post spam? How do I avoid getting those? Thanks so much for all of you who DO comment, I so appreciate the support we have on here amongst one another.

Way to go girl. I have the hardest time not eating all my food when I go to restaurants. And to work out while on vacation that is awesome. You are doing great.
On another note you asked what the Couch to 5k is. Well it is a 9 week program that gets you to being a beginner runner to running a 5k. I am only on week 2 so I don’t know if by the end of the 9 weeks I will be about to run a 5k. I am not a runner. But it has been fun. I downloaded to my MP3 player music and then it makes a chime when to walk and when to run. I think this is the website I used www.ullreys.com/robert/Podcasts/podcasts/podcasts.html. Or if you just google Couch to 5k you can find other websites and info. You should try it out.
