Vacation = Uh Oh

Yeah.... weighing myself this week is going to be brutal, I can pretty much guarantee it. Last week I was doing very well points and activity wise. I was really encouraged by my loss the week before. I screwed up my bad foot at the gym early in the week but still forced myself to go anyway (it's already screwed up so why not) and I ate very carefully all week because I knew I would be eating a lot over my 4 day vacation up north. I EVEN went to the gym friday morning before I caught the bus to Campbelton, which is something I never thought I would have the motivation to do in a thousand years. I'm actually pretty proud of that. I know it isn't much, but I could have slept in and had a 'proper' start to my vacation. I'm trying to see that as a marker of my seriousness when it comes to this process. That, or temporary insanity. Hopefully the former.

Six hours on a bus later I was there and any sort of food common sense was apparently left at home. Pizza, cheesecake, rum, chips, more rum, kraft dinner, fuzzy peach slices, poutine, more rum.... I didn't track my WW points while I was there but when I got home last night I tracked everything I ate. Jesus Mary and Joseph did I eat a lot and it is terrifying how far over my points I went, and I am sure there are things I forgot and didn't track. I frankly wish I didn't know how far over I am but the whole point of all this is to be accountable, right? And yeah, my minor victory of going to the gym before catching the bus there definitely wasn't enough to offset it. ha ha ha

I am feeling physically pretty gross because of the food I ate this past weekend. Sluggish and bloated and basically just fat. I probably should keep this whole experience in mind next time I intend to have a binge weekend. I need to tell myself next time:

1. you'll feel guilty
   
2. you'll feel physically gross
3. you'll have to work like a crazy person to undo the damage

I had a really fun vacation, no question, and I am glad I went, epic six hour busride each way and all. I just wish I hadn't eaten so much and eaten so many high cal/high fat foods.


In other but related news, I was possibly going to be going away this coming weekend as well but it has fallen through. To be honest I am mostly relieved. I know that would have been another bad point weekend and as much fun as I know it would have been I am much happier spending the weekend home, not drinking, eating sensibly, and exercising. (Plus I don't know that my cat could handle anouther weekend alone. She is one grouchy SOB from being left home while I was away and she woke me up a couple times last night, screaming in my face for cuddles and reassurance.)

Anyway, I am back on track as of yesterday. Hopefully I can bounce back from this quickly.
