Made it! Another weekend has come and gone and I stuck to the plan. Weekends are usually my downfall. I can pretty much follow a regimen during the week. But, making it through a food weekend is a major victory for me.
I was traveling this weekend. Overnight travel for a baseball tournament in Lancaster County, PA....Amish Country! The area is really lovely, with bucolic scenery and shopping outlets, too!
I will be traveling almost every weekend for the next six weeks, so it is important I learn how to eat well on the run. I am blessed to live in an area with many food options. All you have to do is decide to eat well and you pretty much have all the necessary options.
I brought with me pre-portioned bags of almonds for weak moments and they are working. The bananas, tuna and fruit cup in natural juice did not get used. (But it was only an overnight trip this time.) I'm going to keep bringing them with me to avoid picking up off-limits foods.
Wendy's is my favorite go-to place for getting a less-than-processed meal on the run. Caesar Side salad and a baked potato give a lot of food energy, good nutrition and to me it's satisfying. I do not feel deprived when my companions eat their french fries and not feeling deprived helps me stay on track.
Here's my set of rules for my 95 day clean eating ritual: No fried foods, no white sugar, no wheat flour, no tortilla or potato chips. No pizza and no bread. Only whole foods. Plenty of veggies and fruit and lean meats and fish and whole grains. I mean the basics, right?
I have also started to walk in the morning. Not too far, but at a good pace for twenty minutes. It's not kickboxing, but it's a start, right?
