A Confession, a Triumph, and a Question

Well, I suppose I’ve fallen off of the blogging wagon. You know what they say, the best laid plans…

Alas, we must move on. Focus on the positives, I say…I’m back, for one!

In order to provide an update on the status of my health journey, we have to go back to last weekend.

May 14th was Jon’s birthday, and May 16th was mine, and to celebrate, we decided to spend the weekend in San Antonio at a beautiful Bed and Breakfast called 1908 Ayres Inn. (Side Note: I HIGHLY recommend this place for anyone looking for a unique place to stay in that area!) In case you couldn’t tell by its Spanish moniker, San Antonio is a city rich with Texan & Mexican culture. These cultures combine to culminate the greatest pitfall of my dieting: Tex-Mex.

Let’s just say, the abundance of delicious chips and salsa, guacamole, enchiladas and tacos (not to mention Coke and DP), along with the oft-uttered phrase “what the heck, it’s our birthdays!” sent me into deep nutritional peril. Granted, we did walk A LOT, and I managed to keep my portions to a relatively normal size, but nonetheless, the guilt was abundant. Sadly, the weigh-in upon our return home was equally guilt-laden. I gained back almost 3 pounds. Blech.

At least it gave me a renewed sense of vigor. Once again, I’m back on the straight and narrow (sort of). Although I will say that having 3 days of no working out really made me lazy! I was surprised at how fast that happened. Even still, I got back on the proverbial horse and as of this morning, I’m pretty much still on track with my plan. *gives self pat on the back*

I’d love to delve into the details of the rest of my two week absence from this blog, but time just doesn’t allow it.

Question for anyone who reads/feels like responding: If you could wake up tomorrow with one skill completely mastered, what would it be? Mine would be photography. I’d love to know yours!

Be back soon, lovelies!
