This is the beginning/middle of week 7 and I'm just getting back on track AGAIN! I just spent the last week in Las Vegas visiting family and one thing that I've noticed is my parent's house is bad for my health. As soon as I walk through the door, I feel like snacking. I want junk food. I just want to eat. I'm not hungry, but I just want to eat everything I can. I think there is some reason I tie family in with food, but until I can figure it out, I will have to struggle with my diet whenever I go home. It doesn't help that my family is addicted to ice cream and they make sure there is always a ready supply in the freezers at all times. The ice cream isn't the worst thing for me, because I'm not really drawn to it like I am to other things. I know how it affects me physically, and it doesn't taste good enough to me to suffer the consequences. But chips and salsa with sour cream is a form of kryptonite for me. And again, there are always chips there! But even after all that, I came home a pound lighter than when I left. I weighed in this morning at 223 lbs. I'm not sure how that happened, but I'm not going to dissect that. I'll just take it and move on.
I started this morning off a whole lot better than I have this past week. I had a bowl of my very favorite breakfast, cottage cheese and yogurt. I opted for Activia this time since it was what we picked up at Costco during our last trip. I also am trying to make sure I'm drinking enough water. When we got in last night, I went through 3 bottles of water in about as many hours and I still didn't feel like I was quenching my thirst. I struggle with water intake, and I'm going to be focusing on that for the next little bit until I make it more of a habit again.
But I'm not really doing as well as I started out. But I'm not giving up. Today is a new day and I can do it!
