Day 43

Today was travel day. I had a wonderful vacation, but I was ready to get back home and start working on my goals.

I had some left over steak, corn, and ice cream for breakfast. Hey we were going to throw it away and it's the last day of vacation! We stopped for coffee and I got an iced chai, then it was down to some serious driving.

We had some snacks and didn't stop till we were really hungry. I got the buffet at this place we stopped and sampled everything. I did start with a big salad though. The biscuits were to die for and I pretty much went into a food coma nap and then it was my turn to drive.

I made it home and pretty much dropped everything in the house. I was thinking of a bath, but it's way too hot. So instead I'm finishing posts, writing out my runs for this week in my journal, and just reflecting on life.

I have eaten everything under the sun in the last 4 days. I really think I could go a day or two without eating and be fine. I want for nothing because I've seriously had it all. Most people are terrible on vacation. With all the stress lately, it was much needed to just get away from it all.  I'm sure there's a better way, but what's done is done. I ate like a complete cow and now it's time to dig myself out of this hole.

I feel ready to put in work and determined to do better. The first thing I've decided is that if I don't bring it in my lunch bag to work, I'm not eating it. I don't need the chocolate, donuts or pizza. I'm going to practice saying no and reminding myself of this crazy ass marathon run I have coming up. I'm 15 weeks out and my confidence level is hovering above 0. Time to roll up my sleeves and stop dicking around.
