I gotta tell ya, I wasn’t liking my chances going into the weekend. I’m not a binge eater, I’m not the type to fall off the wagon, and in the three and a half months since I started counting calories nothing’s really tempted me… but if anything was going to throw me off, it was going to be Thanksgiving weekend.
After Thanksgiving dinner with my sister’s family, it was off to visit my girlfriend’s family three states away. I knew that I would a) be having a second Thanksgiving dinner, b) be eating high-calorie restaurant food along the way, and c) not have a much chance to exercise. All of which turned out to be true! Not only did I have the delicious abomination known as “country fried turkey” (my girlfriend wanted Cracker Barrel, and… I mean, when else am I going to be there in November?), but on the way back, we ended up eating at a Chinese buffet. As it turns out, most places in small town South Carolina are closed on Sunday nights.
Thankfully, I was able to log everything I ate (well, to the best of my ability), and returned home to find minimal difference in the scales. If I can make it through a gauntlet like that, I don’t foresee anything else being a significant roadblock to my goal.
How’d everyone else fare?
