Well, it only took me 3 weeks to arrive back at this same number, lol. Since I am only 1 lb. away from my goal and maintenance, I am seeing this as a good indicator of my ability to stay in maintenance. Since vacations and holidays are a part of life and I am unwilling to see them as "hurdles" or "scary, bad events," I am embracing the normal parts of life and my ability to incorporate these little deviations from my primarily good eating habits.
That being said, this last week has tested me. Since returning from vacation, I had returned to my regular exercise regimen with great intention, knowing that I feel better when I get regular exercise. I went for one 3.7 mile walk, followed by my normal dvd workout, followed by a slightly shorter 2.5 mile walk over the course of a week. All the sudden, as if I've been away from exercise for months or had done something totally crazy, BOOM!! Horrible, burning pain in BOTH feet and glutes that just WOULDN'T let up for DAYS!!
Today is the first day that I feel semi-normal, and for that I am immensely grateful. Because, let me tell you, these last few days of being virtually bed-bound have led me to have more convenience and/or comfort foods than I usually allow myself.
So, right after work it was off to the grocery store to stock up on lots of yummy vegetables. I had half a BLT and a huge salad and I feel much better.
Have a great weekend, everyone. I get to go on a date with my husband tomorrow! We are seeing "The Judge" and then going out to dinner. We work such crazy, bass-ackwards schedules that I am very grateful to have the weekend off together.
