I'm back from vacation! Today I'm thankful for Cape Cod and all of its lighthousey-oystery-beachy-historical goodness. If you ever get a chance to go, you should.
I had great intentions of eating well while on vacation, thinking that "there will be fresh seafood!" But where there's fresh seafood, there's FRIED seafood. Also, Kyle left early, and all of my accountability went out to sea, like the arm of a swimmer, eaten by a great white shark.
Anyway, stepping on the scale when I got back was overly depressing (I gained 3.6 pounds--disgusting), yet motivating. But! That meant that Tuesday went well. I did 20 minutes on the bike, burning 185 calories, then 20 minutes on the treadmill (walking kinda slow because of my foray up and down the Pilgrim Monument this weekend) which burned 75 calories. Then 5 minutes of weight lifting/upper body strength. And 4 cups of water.
Breakfast was a cup of mango chunks and 2 cups of water. Lunch was 2 more cups of water and 2.5 ounces of chicken (Andrew--protein!), 1 ounce of goat cheese (Andrew--protein!), 2 cups of tomatoes, 2 teaspoons of olive oil, some wheatberry salad, and a tablespoon of chocolate chips. Hooray for protein, dairy, fruits and veggies, healthy oil, and whole grains! Score!
Then the cake appeared in the break room. And it wasn't icky grocery store cake. I could tell by the box and the decorations on it that it was GOOD cake. And my inner Marie Antoinette told me to have some.
So I had a sliver. And then it was SO GOOD that I wanted to go back and eat a giant ol' hunk of cake. But I did not do that, people. And for that, we will have a thumbs up from the Duchess of Cambridge.
Dinner was another 2.5 ounces of chicken, a cup of sauteed mushrooms, and another cup of mango chunks. (I realize that none of that really goes together, but whatever.) Snack was chips and salsa and a 100 calorie pack of cookies. Overall, a few too many sweets today, but a great day considering.
In conclusion, suck it, Shame Squad!
