Well, my vacation plan is working somewhat, but sometimes food just tastes so good. I think I am over the emotional eating where i eat to mask feelings instead of feeling them, but I haven't figured out how to stop when it tastes good. Especially when I'm traveling and having fun and being in cute restaurants with fresh seafood and really just want to do what I want to do. I managed to order food with very little carbs but not controlling the fat. I always leave some of it on my plate. I never ever eat the bread. Working on it...
Yesterday was a wonderful day, the girls and I walked down to the Sea Caves where we saw sea lions and the beautiful Oregon coastline. I wore a different pair of shoes than I normally would wear, and it really tweaked my knee, which I had a joint replacement in last year. It scared me, I can't go back to that pain I used to have. It's hard to be a happy joyful person when you HURT. I iced it, took Aleve, elevated it last night, and it feels better now. I think I'd better buy myself a new pair of tennis shoes, and get rid of these Sketchers ShapeUps.We have a lot of walking to do on this vacation!
Today we are staying in a small inn on the historic waterfront of Newport, OR. It's beautiful and funky and it smells like fish and there are sea lions constantly barking. Nonstop. All night. Now. I'm going to buy some fresh tuna off the boat today. We'll go over to Nye Beach and collect some driftwood and shells and maybe dig up some clams.
I don't know if anyone read this far, but I have to say that I love having this journal to go back to. I think it is going to be interesting to read the progression of vacation eating attitudes.
