Hi Ladies! Kristin here. We're off to our cabin for the weekend in a couple hours, but I wanted to stop here to suck up some motivation before I leave on my three-day-cabin-food-odyssey. So thanks, girls! It helps, it helps, it HELPS.
I'm going to do my very best not to blow it this weekend. I have never really pigged out when we're up at the cabin, but life is different up there...it's all about relaxing, de-stressing, and feeling happy. COMFORT FOOD CENTRAL, in other words. Being the emotional eater that I am, I know what this often means at the cabin: Wine coolers. S'mores. Bacon or sausage for breakfast, washed down by Coco Wheats. And pancakes. (LOL) Chilled macaroni-peas-mayo"salad." Fresh-caught, pan-fried walleye. (YUM!) Hot cocoa. Chewy granola bars (which I don't fool myself into thinking are "healthy"), grilled burgers (which, without the fluffy white-flour buns and butter-soaked grilled potatoes and brown sugar baked beans next to them, would be just fine...) And did I mention wine coolers?
It's tough. I'm going up there planning to be drastically disciplined, compared to the above description. I want to have fun, and I don't want to be crabby from depriving myself of all of my favorite cabin foods, BUT I also would give just about ANYTHING to not wake up Monday morning to a 5-pound weight gain, after coming off such a great week of really hard effort. So I'll be struggling I'm sure, but hopefully I will not crumble.
I hope y'all have a great weekend of strength and success!!! I've set a goal for myself: I want to lose at least 10 pounds by my 43rd birthday, which is September 17th. I KNOW I can manage that - if I stay on track. It won't happen if I follow my healthy eating plan two days on, then two days off, etc. etc. !!!!!!! Stay strong, ladies!!! Talk to you in a few days!!!
