Road trips can be a disaster situation for someone on a clean eating path. Chips, dips, pretzels, pizza, pop...I could go on and on....so why am I writing about this...I just came back from one. I left early on Thursday with my team from work. Team building trip which had a purpose behind it...we we're going to experience the Black Friday madness by being at one of the biggest outlet center in the US...Woodbury Commons...we were up about 36 hrs with very little sleep in between.
I found myself, for the 1st time, not really craving the bad stuff....that feeling in your mouth when you see this 'bad' but SO tasty food in front of you....I wasn't a complete angel but really didn't have a big cheat as I expected would happen...I started my day with my regular oatmeal (mixed with flax seed, cinnamon and apples)..I brought my own little snack for the road (yogurt and berries...yum), drank as much water as I could. For dinner, I had turkey,salad, potatoes AND some gravy...gravy being the splurge. For the rest of the trip, I basically had sandwiches...the splurge there was on the cheese that they all had and a little light mayo....not too bad all in all...of course, 1st thing I did this morning is get on the scale....BAM....I'm up 1 pound. Now, I didn't eat much...was it water retention from the trip and possibly high sodium levels in what I ate, maybe...but one thing's for sure, I'm going to be extra good this weekend....despite the birthday dinner for my boyfriend tonight.
Due to the fact I REALLY needed to recover today...no training. Tomorrow it's back to normal.
Until then...have a great night!
