This past week has been a struggle for me.
I traveled to Birmingham, AL for business which normally isn't such a challenge. However, I was traveling with others and felt I did not have as much control over where and what I ate. I did go to whole foods and get snacks (apple, peanut butter, pop corn) and my breakfast (cereal and rice milk).
My trip to whole foods helped me avoid the conference room cookies, sodas and other naughty foods. And, the one morning I did eat breakfast with my coworkers, I had eggs and fruit. But, I could not avoid the temptation of one piece of bacon!
My biggest derail on the road was eating out. I forgot my own lessons of sauce on the side, grilled when possible, etc. It's one thing to have a cheat meal, but I feel like I had several this week.
In addition to the traveling this week, I have suffered from Migraines off and on all week, hormone issues, social engagements...it's been a healthy eating recipe for disaster.
But, I have a choice. I can give up and go down the path I have gone in the past. I can just keep putting garbage in and give up. OR, I CAN GET BACK ON TRACK. I choose health.
I started this morning on a date with my husband. I had eggs Benedict. I had crab instead of canadian bacon, the Benedict on the side, and only ate half the English muffin. 7 WW points vs 14 WW points.
Smart decisions make BIG differences!
