Days 67-71: Vacation from Clean Eating

Every year my aunt and uncle rent a beach house in Galveston and we join them for a few days of family, fun, and relaxation.  One of my favorite things about this trip is the amazing food we eat.  When we began the LiveFit program I knew this would be a designated free weekend - a vacation from clean eating.  I have been looking forward to this weekend for so long and the last thing I expected was to feel guilty for straying from my newly found clean lifestyle.

When we arrived Friday night I made my first plate of food and I tried to keep my portions pretty small.  I had a Diet Coke, 1/2 croissant with ham, queso, a few tortilla chips, spinach dip, and a jalapeno popper.  Oh how I missed these things!  Even though they tasted so wonderful, I couldn't get rid of that little voice in the back of my head that told me it was so wrong to eat them!



On Saturday my aunt made homemade ice cream (a tradition) and I felt a little less guilty about eating it. :)
 



I did make some time to get in a workout on Saturday morning.  It felt good to not be 100% lazy and I had such an amazing view of the ocean.  I could work out like that every day!  After my workout I fit in my personal tradition of napping on the porch.


I took a few snacks with me so that I had a few alternative choices available should I decide to do some clean eating while I was there.  I took some Questbars, rice cakes, natural peanut butter, almond milk, almonds, and low carb tortillas.  They all came in handy and kept us from snacking all day on a bunch of junk. 

As you can tell from our hair, we had a great time!



While we enjoyed our vacation it was cut short due to the unexpected passing of my beautiful Granny on Sunday.  This week will probably be difficult in terms of working out and maintaining a proper eating schedule.  I will do my best to do what I can, but my priority this week is my family and laying my sweet Granny to rest.  I feel confident that we won't have any trouble getting back to our daily routine when that time comes.
