mardee57's Journal, 11 April 2014

So going on vacation for 2 weeks really pushes you to your personal limits as far as controlling how and what you eat. I was in Mexico for 2 weeks and the entire dynamic as to how, when and what I ate was changed radically. We don't always realize how fortunate we are to have all the fresh clean produce and clean water that we have at our disposal. I bought tomato's and my daughter said "here use this spray to clean it, you can't use the water..." Yikes it was a challenge! I did well with portion control but I ate foods that I typically don't eat i.e meat. All in all it was a good lesson and I am back on track and really glad to be home...

Welcome back inspite of the challenges I hope you had a lovely trip. I had a similar experience when I went on travel. I'm now looking into portable water purification systems. But yes it's sad to go somewhere and veggies are not a staple.

Welcome back MARDEE,we do what we can. You didn't let what you couldn't control stop you from doing what you *could* control. :D And that's "a staple" for weight loss success!

What a great and positive way to look at it. I will have to use that in the future..."You didn't let what you couldn't control stop you from doing what you *could* control." That is brilliant. I did have an amazing time and did better than I have ever done being out of my element so for that I am very proud. As always thanks for the support, FS is a blessing!

I'm doing fine mardee. I have not been on a veggie or vegan diet lately but I may try that again as it gets warmer. And Tic, that is a great quote. :) Have a great weekend!
