Humph!

Well I started this month in London.  And I was so proud of myself on that trip.  I walked and walked and walked.  And I didnt feel all that guilty in my eating.
The second trip entailed a lot of sitting around and food.  But I did my darnedest to get up every morning and run and throw some jumping jacks in there in the evening.
The third trip.  It was just about food and family and friends.  I had every intention of getting up in the morning and running.  I just couldnt find the energy to get out of the house and go out into those temps.  Hot and sweaty in an non-airconditioned home is not fun.  I have become a bit of a whimp in that category.  Or maybe other aspects of that trip came into play as well.
This trip is more sitting around and food.  And I have SOOOO not been restrained on the sweets.  I so thought I would.  But nope!
And what do I have to show for it?!?  This morning, the outfit I have chosen to wear as a comfy outfit for a Friday.  For the last day of meetings.  It is snug.  I feel it in the arms of the shirt and across the chest and back.  I feel it in my thighs and knees.  Across my butt.  And a slight tell tale sign in the waistline.
YUUUUUUCK!!!!

I have one more night on the road - Monday.  I am by myself in an unknown area.  I think I will be packing a cooler of healthy options.

Then another night the following week.  Going to go with the same game plan.

I have a birthday outing next Friday.  Trying to figure out how to manage that.  I so wish I could play recluse for a while.

And the class reunion?  Well I wasnt really planning on heading back to NJ after this last trip.  I thought about it for a nano-second.  I will be half way there when I am in Richmond.  But the long drive back on a Sunday just doesnt appeal to me.  Som good ol' at home time is what I need.

Already thinking about what I need to do when I get home to burn some of these pounds off.  I have a workout schedule set up through next week.  And the T25 starts up as well next week.  I think I should be back on track soon.

fingers crossed
