I'm hailing from Chicago today and I've been in Chicago all week, which is probably why I've been so MIA recently. I haven't worked out for about a week now, since I've been on vacation, and I've been staying away from the scale because during the time of the month I gained about 10lbs of weight due to bloating.
While on vacation on Chicago, I've been eating ONLY when hungry, and I've been trying very hard not to overindulge. I haven't been eating as clean as I should be, but I've been trying to eat better. I think Im finally getting a grasp on eating healthier. 3x I've gone out to eat with friends at different restaurants, and EACH TIME..I ate only until I was full and I DIDN'T EAT ALL MY FOOD.
I am so proud of myself!!! This is so new to me, this is the first vacation I have taken in years where my life didn't resolve around food. I wasn't going to weigh myself because I was scared that I had gained weight. I finally weighed myself today, and I actually I've lost 3lbs of bloating from my TOM, and I have yet to work out. I plan on going for a run today in Chicago to maintain the weight loss.
On Tuesday, I went to a pizza restaurant in Chicago and tried their famous deep dish pizzas. I only had ONE piece of pizza. I WAS SO PROUD OF MYSELF. Usually I eat all I see in front of me until I'm overly stopped and I come back from my trips 8 lbs heavier.
I think this blog and learning how to revamp my relationship with food has been a great experience for me. This trip has taught me that I can eat all sorts of food in moderation and still maintain weight. I leave Chicago on Sunday, and from Now till Sunday, I will:
1. Keep eating everything in moderation.
2. Exercise at least 2x
3. Be proud of myself whatever the scale says on Monday in Saint Louis, because I have taken steps in discipline that I haven't taken in years!
HAPPY THURSDAY!!!
