I worked out at 5:30 this morning. It was brutal. But I did it! What brought on this craziness? Well, I'm headed out of town this weekend. I'm going on our annual Halloween camping trip with our church. In the past, the best things about this weekend are:
1) this amazing Italian restaurant in the town
2) watching my kids trick or treat
3) the incredible burger joint across the street
See the problem with that list there? That's my reality. A family vacation sounds fun, but what I am really looking forward is what I'll eat there. That's how it's always been. Food as entertainment. Food as comfort. Food as reward. Food as consolation. It's an ugly pattern. But familiar and so hard to break free from. I'm headed into this weekend feeling pretty strong. I know that I will probably end up eating at both places mentioned above because my family loves them too and we only go there once a year.
Goals for the weekend:
1) Share meals when eating out
2) Make healthy choices for all other meals/snacks
3) Do NOT overdo on candy from kids' buckets
4) ENJOY what I do eat and don't feel guilty or ashamed
5) Get at least 30 mins. of purposeful exercise in both days
If I can accomplish these things, I will consider myself a success regardless of the scale. Regardless of the scale. Regardless of the scale. This is my mantra for the weekend.
Woohoo! Beach weekend, here I come!
