... that I'll be on vacation starting Friday, so the blog will probably be quiet for a week or two.
I made my 5% goal last Saturday, but it's likely that the scale won't be so pretty this week; I planned to spend all my weekly dots on weekend festivities, and did, but I didn't track them assiduously. There was a bunch of alcohol involved, and also cake, and basically my weekend was super fun but probably inadvisably louche.
I'm tracking again as of Monday, but went over yesterday due to an unexpected social dinner (friends in from out of country) at the Unhealthiest Mexican Restaurant In The World. (No, not really. But there were items conspicuously missing from the descriptions of the salad I ordered, specifically "refried beans" and "taco shell", and it turns out I do not actually have the willpower to not eat a deep-fried taco shell when it is presented to me, because I am not a robot.)
However, we actually managed to have some healthy options at our cookout, including a gigantic bowl of awesome fruit salad and a bunch of jicama sticks, and so I have been noshing on zero-point leftovers for the last couple days. I would be utterly shocked if the scale number weren't up this week, and I accept that as a consequence of my profligacy. Life is a rollercoaster, as they say.
So vacation looms, and I'll be faced with some significant conundra. Specifically, how to go to my personal culinary mecca (North Market in Columbus, Ohio) and manage to not eat All The Things. There are a ton of healthy options there, mind you -- far more than in other convention locations -- but a lot of them involve copious piles of rice and noodles, which are, of course, high in dots. That said, I'm kind of excited for the challenge! And it will be a good prep for the late-summer trip to Indianapolis, which does NOT have All The Things to eat, or for that matter, any of the things.
[Apparently this didn't post before I left! So here it is. And we'll see if I can figure out how to back-date it.]
