So I'm back at school after a fun Thanksgiving. My moms WHOLE family (18 ppl to be exact) came to Cleveland and it was actually pretty cool. Family, they're a crazy mix, but they're family nonetheless. I am just SO glad to be back in my "controlled" enviroment. On Wednesday, I didn't necessarily eat bad. I tried my best to make good choices and I think I succeeded for the most part. Thursday AM, my little cousin and I went for a 20 min walk and that was cool. I don't think I really got my HR up but its OK, at least I was active. I ate like CRAZY for dinner. The food was absolutely GREAT, but I did NOT like the feeling f being overstuffed. I didn't miss it. I also drank and I really didn't see the purpose of that either. One of those things where b/c i had the opportunity, I did. I was SO ready for the day to be over. I didn't like the feeling of not having control and I was honestly just sick of food! I was looking at what everyone else was eating today and I was kust kinda grossed out. I'm much smarter this time around in terms of eating and I don't feel such a sense of failure that I did when I was dieting the last Thanksgiving in 04. I am totally in control and I don't have the urge for gluttony, really. Like on the way back, my aunt stopped at McDonald's and she says "oOooh, triple cheeseburger" and I'm thinking, "ew, gross". Then her 11 year old daughter got a 10-pc chicken nugget and i think that's way too much for her - esp considering her size. Anywho, I didn't get anything. I DID get raisinets for the trip home (yum - raisinets). Didn't feel really guilty, i mean i've been CRAVING raisinets. But anywho, im back at school now and i feel much better now that im back. im ready for the fitness center to open up so i can work out. I at least want to maintain my weight for next weigh-in (or be down 1, that would be cool too). Anywho, just wanted to check in since its been a while!
