Cathlete
I am delighted to report that I maintained my weight during my vacation for the first time in my life! 
My game plan for this trip was to eat clean for breakfast and lunch, skip my usual snacks (or just eat fresh fruit), and enjoy a treat with my family once a day. It worked! Even with no formal workouts, I did not gain an ounce. I even ate a piece of Mom’s butter pecan cake Sunday and another piece today. :9 I also enjoyed sweet tea with my evening meals. I drank plenty of spring water to balance it out. I am so excited! I am having Cathe withdrawals and craving the simplicity of clean eating, but it is nice to know that I can relax and enjoy a few treats every now and then without undoing all my hard work. I gained 2 pounds last week because I hurt my ankle and was unable to do my beloved cardio workouts (and did not adjust my calories to compensate), but I am still very excited. I have a history of gaining at least 5 pounds during a vacation, so this is a huge victory for me. I am rejoicing and celebrating tonight! :7 Above all else, I feel good about what I have accomplished and confident about what I will accomplish.
My hot water heater blew up while I was out of town. I came home to a big mess. My workout area is full of furniture and stuff I had to move. I am missing Cathe like crazy. I need to go clear a space for my workouts so I can get back on track with my rotation in the morning after I get some sleep.
I missed everyone. It is good to be back online again.
Blessings,
Heather B.
