I spent sunday and monday in the car driving across the county, and let me tell you-it is seriously hard to stay in your points on a road trip. I did miraculously well the first day. I had salad for lunch and a subway sandwich for dinner, and I ended up having about 26 points. And then the second day got totally messed up, and I ate a stupid little sandwich that ended up being 17 points. So I ended up having like 40 points. Its hard for me to be exact cuz I'm eating weird things, but I think I'm pretty close. And here's a lying to yourself moment. You see I weighed myself on sunday morning instead of monday because I was going to be gone, and I had lost 2.2 pounds so I was all happy, but that day I ate 40 points even though I was already out of extras. So I decided to eat perfectly the next day with no extras even though it was the first day of the week, and then switch the information, so that it would say that I had 23 on sunday and 40 on monday. But on monday I had 26 and on tuesday I had 40. Today I had 23, so I can switch that day out, but if I do, that would mean that on paper I would have eaten: 26, 40, 40 so far this week. Which= 37 extras so far this week... Ok, we'll go with that. I know I'm on crack. But technically this is...kinda smart I guess. Because instead of being like, thats all in the past, I'll just do better from now on, I will make it all even out so that I have the correct amount of points per fortnight. Tomorrow, and every day for the next week, I will wake up and do laps in the pool, eat some low-point oatmeal, have a low-point sandwich for lunch, eat sugar free puddings when I'm jonesing, and go jogging occasionally at night. So that will even out the overflow, and hopefully make kick start my metabolism and lose even more weight this week. And important part of dieting... VERY IMPORTANT, especially for me, is not doing damage when I'm partying. Like all year, I would work really hard, lose weight, and then let myself have a little fun and gain it all back. It's one thing to take it easy and just stay at the same for a week, but to totally undo hard work -it's bad. Plus the fact that I have access to a pool while I'm here, I need to really keep working hard, because I'll totally kick myself if I don't do well this week. Like in the beginning of the summer, I went to New Hanpshire and thought I was gonna lose a lot of weight because I kayaked and climbed a mountain for 6 hours (so hard core), but I didn't watch my points very well and I ended up gaining weight, and I was SO pissed. So I can't let this happen to me. Vacationing is a part of life, so it's important for me to figure out how to stay within my points.
