How to get "back up on the horse" with my Low Carb Living after vacation !

Upon returning home, I step on the scale.

*SIGH*

Proud of myself for the scrambled eggs that I ate each morning, the at home coffee with heavy cream & Splenda that we made, the protein options and veggies we focused the evening meals around.

Thrilled for the 10,000 steps = 5 + miles a day the hubs and I did on the beach together. Not to mention the 20,000 steps for the first 2 days to kick off the vaca at the theme park.

Beyond happy I had to get new swim suits as mine were literally too BIG!

We had a great 10 days, very long and extended quality family time, and crossed off a mile stone bucket list item with the M-O-U-S-E.

When we go on winter vacation snow skiing, I maintain a 10,000 step according to the Fitbit. I don't have as much control of the food as it is family style with 16 + people, but figure I am SKIING for 6-8 hours a day, so let it go. These last 2 years I have either lost or maintained.

Let it go and move it on forward. 

I need to do that today.

I gained weight over vacation.

(Like.... 10 lbs which seems REALLY excessive to me.)

+/- 2 to 4 and I would have been like, yeah, that makes sense, plus I am probably still a little dehydrated and swollen from the flight. :)

The wine in the evenings to celebrate each sunset, the couple of Reeces peanut butter eggs the fam had for Easter, the coke (full leaded) over ice I had in the middle of the heat of the day. I thought it would negate itself like when skiing with all the walking.

*inhale...exhale*

Let it go and move it on forward. 

Woke up and had my protein shake. yum. Have a real Starbucks coffee with cream. YUM.

Going to keep up the walking.

Going to add in the weight training and additional movement.

Going to get back onto the "PULLED IN REINS program" that provided me with a great success from Thanksgiving through March and ultimately -#65 throughout these last 18 months. I obviously have huge sensitivity to sugar and carb so therefore need to maintain this low carb lifestyle that I feel good doing.

I will be back to where I was and actually continue to go beyond.

It is part of the process.

The biggest part of the transformation, mentally, is letting go of the all or nothing, good-vs- bad, black or white thinking.

Let it go and move it on forward. 

In life there will be ebbs and flows, there will be ups and downs, and then you have them, you have to get back up, dust yourself off and get back up on the horse.

Vacation was amazing. Lifelong memories made and fun had by all.

Vacation is over. 

Giddy up.
