Truth and Consequences

I guess it took some shame and embarrassment to get me back to blogging. I got complacent and didn't think I was all that interesting, but I should have known that at least some of the benefit to blogging was the accountability I felt with having to write down what I was eating for all the world to see. 

I was plugging along, seeing great results in my weight and performance and attaining goals until ... the vacation. John and I went to Vermont for what was supposed to be a mini romantic retreat for three days last Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. I had already planned on it being a time for some treats, but I couldn't foresee the devastation that awaited me. 
Eight days later, here I am. I'm up way more pounds that should be feasible in a week. I'm unhappy and embarrassed and disappointed in myself. Was that first treat dessert at the amazing farm-to-table restaurant worth it? I'd say yes. Was the emotional, guilty-feeling, closet-eaten dessert the Nth time worth it? No. Not even a little. 

Luckily for me, Jason has challenged the group to a week of strict zone paleo. The timing couldn't have been better. The fridge, freezer and pantry got their desperately needed clean outs again. The menu got planned and the groceries got shopped. 
So ... I'm back on track at the moment and holding myself accountable again. There's only three weeks left in this challenge I'm not going to negate all of the hard work I've put in over the last 10 weeks. I have a plan for zone and will work it for at least this week and adjust as necessary.
