Going out of town is always lots of fun but I also have an unfortunate tendency to let my system get out of whack when I'm not at home. I don't drink water the way I should, because I don't want to have to take the time to search out and use the bathroom. I don't eat enough fresh fruits and vegetables because, let's face it, part of going out of town is going out to eat. I should be more vigilant about requesting restaurants to prepare my food healthfully (I hear they will do that, although I've never tried, because I like to try it they way they think it should be eaten). That means that I had lots of rich foods that I don't normally eat, and even though most of those things were split with my husband so I didn't have full portions, they still weren't the best choices. So today I am feeling a bit sluggish and overstuffed. Why do we do that to ourselves? It only tastes good for a minute and then it makes you feel ugh for days - but at the time it sure feels worth it! Oh well, water under the bridge. Today I am back to drinking plenty of water (and making plenty of trips to the bathroom), eating nice healthy food, and planning a visit to the gym this afternoon. The ugh feeling will pass and as I will probably not learn anything from my experience and will do the same thing the next time I go out of town, I will just have to keep in mind how to get right back on track.
Today's trick or treat: Add 5 minutes to your cardio workout today. I know I am going to!
