It's been a while, I know. Sorry. I've been busy! There was a couple of business trips, a vacation, getting a house ready for sale, plus a whole lot of just plain old being busy. I've still been hitting the gym almost daily, still following my diet.
Well, mostly.
Yeah, traveling and dieting is hard. Damn hard. I thought i'd be able to hit the hotel gyms too. Guess what didn't happen! Some of it was my fault, some of it was circumstance. Like, on the first night I totally had time but I made the mistake of eating dinner (an awesome steak salad!) first. I was too stuffed afterwards to go to the gym. MY BAD. The second night I wanted to go, planned to go, but we didn't even leave the office until like 7, and then we went to dinner as a group. CIRCUMSTANCE. It doesn't matter, either way you look at it it just didn't pan out the way I hoped. Plus I didn't follow the diet very well. The first night I did fine. The second day though we went to a great mexican restaurant. While I really enjoyed that chimichanga, I doubt that the carb count was less than 50. Oh well. . .I think that's ok.
Still, there were cheats in other places. S'mores while camping, McDonald's on the drive home (at 7am after packing our camping gear up starting at 6am and that after only getting 3 hours of sleep because of a massive storm!!), Bennigan's sampler for father's day dinner + ice cream that night. . .the last week was a veritable spree of BAD.
I refuse to feel guilty though. There's a little nugget of learning in here. I think the takeaway is this; take what you want and pay for it. I already knew that though, right? Yeah, but a little reinforcement never hurt anyone. I mean come on, all that plus no exercise and I managed to stay steady. I'm doing things right now, and I like that. It gives me leeway to have these splurges guilt free. I don't have to worry because I know that i'm living within my means. I'm pretty damn comfortable with that.
