Weekend in NY

Let's see...on Friday, I was going to run since I wasn't going to be home for the weekend, but I ended up not having enough time.  So, instead, I packed my running gear with hopes of getting a run in early Saturday morning. 

We left Friday around 4:45pm and arrived in NY around 9:00pm.  I was so disciplined about my eating the whole day. I had missed breakfast, so for lunch, I ate a half an acorn squash stuffed with chicken sausage and kale.  (I know, I shouldn't have been eating carbs, but I made an exception for today)  We decided to not stop for dinner while in the car. We really just wanted to plow on through those miles and get there!  While the rest of my family was snacking, I was trying really hard not to.  But by about 7:30, I had to have something, and I went with my best option...and Oat n Honey granola bar (pack of 2).  Surprisingly, this held me over until we arrived, at which point, I ate some lunchmeat and cheese (minus the bread).  I woke up Saturday morning, and while nothing was really going on, I decided to go for a run.  It worked out so well that there just so happened to be a bike trail a block away from my sister's house.  I didn't have a GPS, but I only had to do 2.5 miles, so I estimated 30 minutes of running would do the trick.  It was cold and drizzling, but I enjoyed my run. And I was glad I got to accomplish it! 

Also, I lost 1.0 lb!  That made me happy! 

Ok, so we're on "vacation", and as much as I was going to stick to my diet, I also was willing to give in a little.  So, while I did eat my usual salads, meat, cheeses, and eggs, I did allow myself to have ice cream after dinner Saturday night! I did pay for it the next morning when I had gained back that 1.0 lb.  But I knew once I was home again, I would get right back on track. 

So, on Monday morning weigh in, I was down 0.4 lbs.

And today, I am down another 0.6 lbs...the same weight I was on Saturday morning.  Talk about a quick recovery!!

Also, since I was so tired last week with my runs, I decided to take Sunday and Monday as rest days to hopefully store up my energy for my runs this week.  We'll see how this goes.
