The last few weeks I have not done a Fitness Friday post. The reason I was on vacation. So the accountability I normally get from the blog was not there. I was down the shore with my In-laws. They are major sweet eaters. There was actually $180 worth of candy purchased for the trip.
It was tough. They also had 5 dozen cookies.. yea the kind that you buy when you go to the fancy coffee shops that are about $3 each. It was so over the top in the sweet department. See me having a tough time with all that …you bet ya.. We were talking major will power.
My MIL told me that my son asked every time he wanted something. I was happy because he was somewhat conscious of what he was eating. I guess my family is buying my program.
So how did I do? I only ate one cookie all week, and once the M&M were gone I was fine. It was the Ice Cream 5 times over the course of the week. I also found out I really love lobster bisque. I did choose salad as an option for dinner and stop myself at one slice of pizza. So it was not as bad as it could have been.
I really should have read my Friends Trinas advice at OboyOrganics Healthy Vacation Snacks Post . It might have helped this week.
I walk a fair amount not my normally 10K steps.. well I might off I was changing for bathing suit to clothes and I forgot to put my Fit Bit on.
I maintained my weight at 266.
This week I vow to walk more eat less. I have been walking the kids to swim team in the morning and heading to the pool more, the end of the week camping (with a lot of hills)
Howe have you been doing since the summer heat is here?
I think maintaining your weight on vacation is a HUGE SUCCESS!!! Seriously. That is hard to do. Funny about the M&Ms. My grampa always brings them to camp in Maine and puts them in a bowl on the table. I can NOT leave them alone!!! GAH.
Keep up the good work!!
Good for you! I have such a weakness for junk food…….I actually wouldn’t be tempted by M&Ms, but boardwalk cheese fries, and pizza and all that candy….Good for you!
I’m impressed that you were able to control yourself with all those sweet temptations around. I would have been eating everything in sight and worrying about the consequences later. Kudos to you for maintaining and having the will power to make it through the week.
Good for you! Sounds like it was a successful week and you had fun! The $180 worth of candy leaves me speachless! That’s insane. The ice cream at the beach always gets me. My family loves fudge, but thankfully I can’t stand it, so that’s one less temptation. We tried to eat healthy while away by cooking most of the meals ourself and eating very light lunches. Sorry we were never able to connect at the shore! Glad your family had fun!
