So, I gained 5 pounds when I was in New York. 5 pounds in 5 days.
However, I’ve also lost 2 pounds since getting home on Monday night. Traveling is hard on a person’s system. Dehydration, different foods, different schedules. All that, and the urge to jump off the healthy wagon and just enjoy your holiday.
I’m guilty of that. I know when I went to NY that I wasn’t even trying to be good as far as my eating went..and I expected to pay for it this week. I am.
However, I’m happy to report that I fit into the planes seats, and had no trouble with the seat belts. That doesn’t mean I felt like I was going to split the seam of my jeans on the way home. They were definitely tight than when I’d arrived in NY. Another thing is the swelling. My ankles and feet. Yep, I’ve always suffered from a sort of hypertension when flying. Strange that it doesn’t really bother me. BUt this time, I know, because I went to NY and back in 5 days, and then in 2 weeks I do the same but to Pittsburgh for the RT Convention, that I’ll be paying for it. That just means I’ll have to spend at least 20 minutes a day in the gym. The way to get rid of the swelling is to get your blood pumping again.
I’ll also be watching what I eat more at the hotel than I did in NY. Ny was a conference too, but it was just as much out and about…but the RT conference is so all-encompassing that I doubt I’ll see much of the town. Which is okay, cuz I’m going there to meet readers, and they’ll all be at the hotel!
Okay, so this was sort of a rambling post…but I want to stres that it’s okay to fall off the Slim Camp wagon..as long as you get back on.
So..how are y’all doing? Failures? Success Stories? Tip? Trials? Share please. The best way to stay motivated is to know you are not alone!
