I'm back!!! I've enjoyed a variety of taste treats during my little vacation and tomorrow morning Frank and I will note the shift in numbers!! I am reminding myself that indeed I shall see a spike but it doesn't matter. I'll be back in my normal everyday healthy eating routine, drinking my water, exercising (which I did do while I was gone!) and the journey just continues on. Of course ... there is still that nagging voice which tells me ... "just don't weigh for a week or so and be 'really good' and then get back on the scale!" I choose not to listen to that evil woman who whispers such horrid lies in my ear!! LOL!!! That type of thinking is exactly how I have managed to lose and then regain 30-40 pounds or more a year over the past 5 years or so!!! I enjoyed the giant cheeseburger at the Helvetia Tavern, and the steak (no disrespect to you vegetarians out there!), my apple pie sundae, the margaritas, long island ice teas, and the many varieties of brew I had the opportunity to taste!! I even enjoyed the Costco hot dog we got on the way home!! LOL!!! So ... this is my pep talk to myself ... no grumbling allowed!! Not a moment wasted feeling "bad" or "regret." I had a great time and now back to REALITY!!! I hope y'all have been doing well in my short absence!! I'll have to catch up on your journals!!
