I decided not to workout at all in hopes that my foot would get some healing. It's still not at 100%. I'm a little bummed about that. I have to keep up on the stretching. I haven't worn any shoes in the past five days (except for my flip flops) either. Hopefully the lack of activity has helped the healing process.
I did not watch what I ate. First of all, it is really hard to stick to a strict eating regime when you are traveling; if anything it's really just a hassle. I didn't want to have to deal with it while driving 6 hours to our destination. Also, my mom is an amazing cook. I love her cooking and only get to eat it maybe once a year. It was also a big celebration weekend so I knew the food was going to be goooood. So I decided not to hold back. The food was in fact amazing. I did notice a few things though. I couldn't eat very much of it. My portions were small because I just can't eat a ton of food anymore. Also I did have a piece of the carrot cake and the cake was delicious but there was so so so much sugar. It gave me a bit of a stomach ache later because of all that sugar I am no longer used to ingesting.

I had a great weekend but my food choices opened the flood gates. The rest of the weekend, the drive, and the Monday we were home I ate awful food! I ate fast food, and (GASP) I had some soda pop. In my mind it seemed ok because I was already eating bad why not add a little soda pop? I have no excuse. I just did it. Not by best decision, but it is what it is.
So that was then, this is now. Today I am back on track. I have started my workouts again (or at least tonight at Zumba I will start my workouts again, haha!). I have also started Atkins. I have this little notebook that tracks every little thing I eat. I have my meals planned for the week. I have my snacks planned for the week. I went grocery shopping and my fridge is stocked. I have started cooking. The first two weeks of Atkins can be hard but I will succeed. I have it planned down to the glass of water.
I'm back and better than ever. My drive is still in full throttle. Here we go!
