Today I woke up late with a list of things to do including going to the Library of Congress and working on my thesis most of the day and a holiday party tonight, but eating right was still at the top of my list. Over the weekend my husband and I went to visit his sister, who is newly engaged (yeah!). So no need to say there was some celebrating. I knew we were going away so I made sure to accommodate my eating for the week before. I saved my cheats for Saturday and Sunday. I still might have overdone it, and definitely felt like I had a carb hangover on the drive home. To recover from this less than stellar feeling my husband and I promised each other that we would go to the gym together when we got back in town. It was tough but we did it and were very happy about it too. By doing this, we were both right back on track and did not miss any workouts that week.
Splurges are part of life and you should enjoy them! I have never been one to feel guilty when I eat something that is not healthy. I enjoy it and move on. Since I am still working towards my goal, I marked several stars on my meal grid (see
I Tackled Week #1) to account for the wine and cinnamon treats I enjoyed and moved on. I also made a huge batch of
Tillie's Turkey Chili to eat this week because I have another weekend of celebrating ahead! We are going to visit my family in North Carolina, and well the most nutritious foods are not always around.....Happy Chanukah everyone!
