I came home from our week-long road trip to a husband I missed A LOT.
My friends and family were great while we visited with them. The kids and I spent about 17 hours on the road total and they did really well. We had a wonderful time and it was so nice to hang out and see everyone… But it’s just different when you don’t have your spouse.
Tonight I’m sitting here with a headache since I haven’t had any caffeine all day. It’s self-imposed.
See…
I made the mistake of stepping on the scale when I got home last night AFTER eating at DQ (Dairy Queen for those that don’t know) and then pizza and birthday cupcakes for my sweet hubby (yesterday was his birthday) (yes that says cupcakeS).
And all of this after watching what I ate last week. Yeah, I watched it alright, every stinkin’ not-so-good-for-me bite that went in my mouth.
UGH.
Anyway, I gained a few L.B.s
Plus! I only ran ONCE while gone.
Double UGH.
So, it’s total turn-around time. I’m breaking up with carbs again. They done me wrong.
It’s possible that I might be a tad grumpy this week. Be glad you don’t live with me.
I’m off to pop some Advil.
Happy Monday?
😉

I hear ya, sister! I’ve been hanging out at Camp Carbohydrate lately and I think it’s time to go home and not have them for a while….. so, I’m grumpy, too. Hey, did you get the package I sent you?
Mommy Mo says
No caffeine?! Are you crazy? I couldn’t cut out the caffeine, I would be a raving b!tch : ). Good luck….
Kat says
I’ve gained a couple pounds too, but there is NO WAY I’m giving up my morning coffee. Nope. I refuse.
Hope your headache is gone!
Liz says
It is SO hard getting back in the groove of reality after being gone!
designHER Momma says
But you were on vacation! You deserve a little dieting time off and not feeling guilty….
But yeah, back to everyday life, it must happen for all of us!
Jennifer says
I did really good with the no carbs last week, but today I’ve been B.A.D. And I can tell that I already feel bad. I really, really must stick with this. It is the only way I feel decent.
Chelle says
Oh, honey. We all have those bad weeks. Shoot, since I’ve had Brynlie I’ve had nothing but 8 bad weeks.
Yikes.
Cheering you on for your goals and I know that you’ll be back to your pre trip weight in no time.

You are a hero for all that time in the car with the kids with no husband with you. So we all know you will kick those pounds to the curb. And of course we’ll understand your grumpiness while you adjust. 🙂

I quit coffee a few weeks ago. I just figure I don’t it and the extra 200 or so calories it was giving me every morning! Good luck on the no carb thing. After 9 days I had to call it quits. I was a bear and melt awful!
