Everything is bigger in Texas. . .including me. It was not Texas' fault really, but I did put on a few extra pounds while on vacation. I didn't work out very much and I was under the false impression that calories didn't actually count while vacationing (isn't that the way it should be??) Seconds, sure! Dessert, let's do it!! Sit in a car for 16 hours straight, expending no energy, while eating snack after snack, heck yeah! So as you can see this was the perfect cocktail (oh yeah I had some of those too!) for expanding the waist line.
I also should mention that before this trip things were not going so great either. The scale had been stuck for a long time. So long in fact that I was beginning to think that maybe it was just broken (it wasn't). Plateaus-ville. Ugh! Then the scale started moving (Yay) in the wrong direction (Boo). So I came back from this trip knowing that I had to take some action or I would be backsliding. That is not an option because I already gave away my bigger clothes. I can not give up and put on the fat pants. They are gone.
So, there's a new sheriff in town. She is mean, she is tough, and she came to kick butt. No more excuses. It is time to get serious again about training and losing a few (or many) more pounds. No more mindless snacking. No more slacking at the gym. It is a simple formula. Calories In vs. Calories Out. Stick to it. End of story. . .or I'll have to walk around pants-less. . .which is the last thing you want to do when you have some extra junk in your trunk.
Ah, I guess the trip was fun? Then it's ok to splurge and have FUN! Here's hoping that sheriff makes their way to me too :)
