We are home and somewhat settled after our trip to Seattle. I can proudly say, I did not go off the handle! Did I let the reins loosen a little, of course. But I did not one thing I regretted and feel proud of myself for sticking to how my body felt and what my body needed.
On Saturday night, we went out for my sister's birthday and I would say that was my most "free" night. I had a mixed cocktail and a glass of wine in addition to sushi for dinner! However, during happy hour the only appetizers I ate were olives and some meat from the meat and cheese board. Was it perfect, no, but it was controlled and that is my Food Freedom. When we went out for desert after dinner, I was satisfied with just 2 bites of tiramisu instead of my own piece!
Sunday we ate thai food and I felt controlled there (although starving when we did eat, so perhaps lunch could have been better).
Monday we went out almost the whole day and again I felt my choices were informed and controlled. I had a cobb salad, then split some fries with my kids. I had a mini donut at my my favorite place, but not the whole 1 (or sometimes 2) that I usually got. For dinner I ate my burger in a lettuce wrap, but didn't stress about the bacon and if it had sugar or not. That was my Food Freedom!
Today on the plane I made the best choices I could (after leaving some of my prepared food behind on accident). Perfect choices, no, but good enough for me.
I made sure to stop at the grocery store on the way home to restock my fridge so no excuses for the morning.
Back at it!
