Week 2 of Diet: Dieting and Roadtripping Do Not Mix
Week one of dieting left me five pounds lighter and feeling dizzy. Not good.
Week Two I called the doctor to figure out how to not lose more weight on my diet (does this not sound right?). Turns out if you only eat fruits and vegetables you're gonna lose some weight. I ended up adding more calories with hummus and rice cakes for some snacks and more protein. Now I've added a few pounds back.
My mom, the kids and I headed to the suburbs of Portland to see my Grandpa. (I couldn't resist adding the photo of the kids playing with Gramps.)
I packed a cooler in the car and ate from there when the rest of the family was eating at fast food places or mini-marts. You know, road trip food. For our dinners we ate at Heidi's, a fake chalet. I was able to order salad without the croutons or cheese. What a sorry situation, but I am proud to say the only cheat was the Scooby Doo orange sherbet push up pop I ate in an emergency on the car ride back up. Seriously, it was an emergency.
The day after the roadtrip we went to Andy's parent's house for a few meals. I passed up a homemade blackberry pie. How do I have so much will power? I ended the week not happy about dieting but I was feeling so good that I knew I had to keep going. I hit the PCC hard on Sunday so I wouldn't feel deprived for Week 3.
