Vacation!

    Well, no use for the exclamation point...vacation is over, I'm back. My time on the lake was absolutely perfect. I feel refreshed and ready to take on the world. Surprisingly, I ate very well too. My parents are on the Paleo trip right now, so I ate lots of veggies (hellooooo cauliflower rice) and yummy meat. Okay...so there was also lots of goat cheese and dark chocolate, but it was vacation!
  
    I did slip up a smidge, but not until the way back. The travel portion was stressful and nasty and drove me to food! No excuse, but I totally got a breakfast burrito for my trip home, I ended up not liking it and not eating it, but the chips that came with it were sososososo good! When I finally got home, Juan took me to a real breakfast and I went all out! Omelet (egg white!) with BACON, and cheese and avocado, and a side of potatoes with bread and jelly and a mimosa O MY! Later I killed a bag of pretzel chips with hummus and then a cheeseburger for dinner....whoa! It feels kind of good to get it off my chest and write that down.

   I felt like shit the next day. I don't regret all the stuff I ate...it was so yummy! But I almost feel like eating that way was an enabler to get back on track. I was so bloated and gassy and tired that I actually craved my healthy eating way and my tummy back the way it was before.

   Before I left, I bought I juicer. I think I was half expecting myself to blow it for six days straight and need to have that expensive appliance to remind me how dedicated I am to this healthy lifestyle. My fridge and counter tops are so full of fruits and veggies right now because I am going to be doing a five day juice cleanse! I've been reading all about them, the good and the bad, and I'm really excited to try it. I really don't think you can judge things like that until you try them yourself.  Guess we shall see :)
