Entry I will miss you all!!!
Mar 10 2008 15:46


I'm going on vacation, which in my world means escaping this Chicago weather for the mild days in North Carolina to see my family and friends.  Because this is a lifestyle change and not a **** I will keep up my workouts and eating habits.  I'm not gonna lie...I will probably have a banana milkshake from my favorite lunch counter in Chapel Hill where I went to college.  And I will probably eat a biscuit from Bojangles because I miss them so much.  BUT I wont go too overboard and only eat half a milkshake and not eat the whole milkshake and a double chesse burger with fries like I used to and eat 1 plain and one cinnamon raisin biscuit with a large sweet tea.  Hell, no wonder I gained so much weight over the years.  I ate those milkshakes like twice a week and I all through high school and college I went to Bojangles at least 3 times EVERY WEEK!!!  And ate fried chicken!!!  The south is no joke when it comes to full fat food.  I have a plan and will keep uo with it.  I will make helathy choices when I do go out to eat and I will probably have dessert but I will share it and not have one by myself!!!  Wish me luck!!!

Hey, good luck! Vacations mean not always sticking to your diet, but they also usually mean being way more active in your daily life without thinkin about it. I just got back from a 17 day vaca where i ate whatever I wanted and drank whatever I wanted, but I walked everywhere i went, swam all day, and danced all night so when i got back and weighed myself I had actually lost a few pounds. I am never this naturally active here which is why I have to exercise and eat less. Just choose to walk to the milkshake store or bicycle to get a biscuit...I hope the weather is dreamy and you have lots of fun! -Alicia
