Back in the saddle.
Yesterday I returned from a week long trip to Granger, IL for a work related conference. I went with the best intentions. Every place I stayed had a fitness center, I brought along shakes and bars to stay consistent with my eating habits and I intended to eat as well as possible while there.
I only worked out once while I was there and, while it was a good work out, it was at 9:00 p.m. which was a horrible time for me to do it. I was already beat from the day and had eaten everything I was going to so instead of burning fat I burned calories, which is better than nothing I suppose. I might have gone earlier in the morning but this particular fitness center did not open until 10 a.m. (ridiculous).
I ate my shakes and some of my bars (when I felt hungry later in the day) and the conference had all the apples and string cheese I needed to make my mid meals count. I am happy to report that I showed restraint when in front of baskets full of ding dongs, cheese and crackers. I drank more soday than normal but I still drank plenty of water.
The trouble came when we went out for lunch and dinner. There were so many new things to try and I just did not have the restraint when faced with those decisions. I gained three pounds as a result. Since there is no use in whining about it, I will conclude this post and get back into the swing of things.

I had trouble while you were gone too. I don’t know if I gained, but I’m sure you’ll lose those three pounds quick now that we’re back to normal.
