Ok….so first of all...Happy Easter!!
Second….hooray for reaching goals!!! Yesterday I hit my goal of 153 pounds. It felt so great to be back where I belong on the scale. Back on track with my eating habits, having one protein bar a day and STILL hitting my protein goal, and feeling great about it all!! The longer time goes by with me being diligent about my food intake the easier and easier it gets. I am developing my old habits again and it is so wonderful. I hate that I let myself stray away from them for a bit, but I am so glad that I was able to find my way back.
I am noticing myself finding it easier to hold off on snacking and when I am hungry I am seeking out calorie free drinks, water, and low calorie/low fat snacks like fruit, or cottage cheese. Even a slice of toast with jelly (no sugar added of course) is helpful. I am still craving my protein bars but it is becoming less and less often and I feel like I am almost to the point where I will not crave them at all.
Exercising is still going well. Actively doing three days a week and I can tell it is playing a huge role in keeping my stomach muscles tight. Even though my plastic surgeon tightened the muscles for me I still need to help maintain their strength and also build it up more. I feel like I am doing a good job of it.
The next three days will be a big test of how well I do eating while on vacation. We are heading up to Canada for a trip to Niagara Falls with the kids and will of course be going out to eat for every meal. It’s hard to calculate that stuff but I am going to try my best to eat the three meals...plus my protein bar...and make those meals as low fat and healthy as the restaurants we are at will enable me to do. My goal is to NOT gain weight while there. I want to maintain.
Another big test will be in 3 weeks...when James and I go to Las Vegas, just the two of us. We will be gone 6 days!! That is a lot of eating out...and it will be difficult. I am hopeful that I will be able to find good options to eat, but it’s gonna be rough. Hopefully I can find a grocery store or something and just buy myself some healthy snacks. :)
Wish me luck readers!! I will need it.
