This past Saturday, I had a Life Challenge ahead of me. I was going out of town, where there is lots of food. It's one of those things, where you can choose to completely let loose or you can have control, make good decisions, still indulge, and most importantly, don't eat when you are not hungry.
I made the good decision. I still ate pizza and soft pretzels, big chocolate muffins and biscuits and gravy, I just didn't eat too much of it. I left food on my plate, I split meals with my sister. And in return? I only gained .2 ounces.
I'm pleased.
And pretty proud of myself, too.

That is impressive! I'm proud of you too!
Food and vacation getaways usually go together...
:D

That's great! I have a tendency to go overboard at times like that. I think you did awesome!

Wow, you did great! Next month I'm facing 2 WEEKS of being away from home. We will probably be in a suite-type hotel, so we'll be able to go to the grocery store and get healthy stuff, but I know there will be lots of temptations! Like you said, it's OK to have the good stuff, just not a LOT of it. :-)

Wow. That's hard to do. I have Bunco tomorrow night. I have yet to attend a Bunco and not PIG TOTALLY OUT. I always go with good intentions. But . . .
Could tomorrow be the night??? I really don't want to put on any extra pounds right now. In fact, I could stand to lose a few. Says the waistband of my pants. So. Wish me luck! You're my inspiration!!

Nicely done....to have enjoyed it thoroughly and yet not have overdone it--it's a tough balance!

That's excellent! Way to go Beth!

Great job - I know it's hard to be good when you're out of town. Hey, I was wondering - what scale do you own? I'm shopping for one and I've never had a good one.

Good for you girl!!!

You rock! Awesome job this weekend. I, on the other hand, would've finished everything that you didn't...especially the soft pretzels!
