Vacation

Aug 26, 2010

We left for vacation last Friday and I was unsure how I would do. We were visiting my family back in Wisconsin where there is lots of delish pastry and desserts. It's not that my family sabotages me at all, in fact they are very good about supporting a person who is trying to lose weight but pastry and desserts are so good:) 

I have been pretty good at getting in my supplements and protein except for a few days. I think I had some dumping on some potato soup which seemed to go down fine but did not sit well later. I guess it was too much starch. My mom was really nice to take me to the grocery store to make sure she had things I could eat. She was also sweet enough to buy my diabetic husband his balanced snacks (1 carb exchange and 1 protein exchange) I think that makes coming home a little easier.

As far as pastry/desserts. I did try a bit of my aunt's keylime pie with no problems and another day a bite of rhubarb pie. (my fav) Neither of them caused any problems. Strange that potato soup would when pie did not. (I suppose I ate much less pie than soup though) I am feeling great and went for a 5 mile walk yesterday with one of my best and dearest childhood friends yesterday. It felt good to do that.

My mom is a nurse at a local residential care facility and yesterday when we went to visit I weighed myself on their digital scale. It said I was down to 262. I can't wait to be under 250. I will keep up the 5 mile walks!
