Alright... confession time.
I went on vacation to NYC over the last 6-7 days. While I was there, I did not track my meals the way I normally do. Also, I ate foods that I don't normally go near. I ate hot turkey club sandwiches... NY Pizza... and hot dogs (hey, they were the cheapest things I could find). I knew, before I left, that I was going to give myself a little bit of a long leash when it came to food. Hey, it's NYC, and they have fantastic restaurants galore. I wanted to enjoy myself a little bit.
However, also while I was in NY, I did a 5 mile race in Central Park and we walked probably 3-5 miles a day just doing tourist things and wandering all over town. I also did a 17 mile bike ride. I'd hoped that these things would counteract my bad eating. They probably did to a certain extent, but I came back last night and found out that I'm ~4lbs heavier than when I left.
So, by publicly admitting my shortcomings, I'm hoping to be held accountable for turning my good eating/exercising habits back on now that I'm out of the city. I made a decision to give myself a little break to enjoy a few "no-no" habits, and I'm living with the consequences of those decisions. Now it's time to get back on track.
So far today, I've had an english muffin, a bag of pretzels, and a 4point tuna kit for lunch. I'm drinking my water, and I'm heading to the gym at lunch for 30 minutes of running.
OK. Thanks for letting me get that out. I needed to announce this publicly to really start over, I think.
