I'm back from a really fun trip to Chicago and I'm slowly trying to get back into my routine. First thing on the to-do list was my morning weigh in.
- Real, natural foods: Pass. We ate out but the food was always very good. Fresh and well prepared.
- Enjoy the dining experience: Pass. For the most part we were able to sit down and enjoy our meals.
- Portion control: Pass. Even though there were many meals eaten out, often they were shared or else I took home leftovers.
- Only at mealtimes--no snacking: So-So. My eating schedule was definitely off, especially in Chicago, so sometimes there were small meals at odd times.
- Run around--incorporate exercise naturally: Pass +. Being in a new city with lots to explore = lots of walking for me, and even though I had been to Chicago before, that didn't lessen my exercise at all. TONS of walking around.
- Treat yourself: So-So. I definitely ate many more 'treats' than I would normally. But, I think that I partially made up for it thanks to the extra walking.
Weekly weigh-in: 165 (+0.5 versus last week and -2.0 to-date)
Final Grade: B+ Actually, I was very happy (and relieved) to see how things went, considering all the goodies I indulged in over the weekend. And, I'm actually wondering if I might have had a consistent weight reading had it not been for last night's spaghetti dinner. I hadn't made spaghetti in a while and last night's was delicious so I know that I ate much more than I needed to. :( And, I have often noticed that my weight fluctuates up after a pasta dinner. So, I'm hoping that things will come back down again soon.
