Dieting on Vacation – Not Easy! July 4, 2011

I’m on the 4th day of a long Independence Day weekend vacation, and though I’m doing well sticking with the whole weight-loss program, it hasn’t been easy. Lots of driving, making it hard to get in the 10,000 steps I try to log each day on the odometer. Then on the second day I jumped into the river fully clothed and killed the odometer, making tracking even harder! Ended up away from the cabin all of one day with no Optifast product after 11 in the morning. Ended up having a salad with no dressing for dinner because I hadn’t eaten since 11 am and wouldn’t be back to the cabin (where my stash of product was) till much later. (First veggies in 2 months!)

And the cabin is built for wine and hors d’oeuvres and relaxing. It has a hammock, hot tub, luxurious and private 3-head outdoor shower, sauna, outdoor wood burning fireplace, redwood table for patio dining, you name it. I feel like the cabin is offended that instead of living here hedonistically, drinking wine from Russian River wineries and scrumptious baked goods from local bakeries, I’m living on my meager Optifast shakes and bars, like a Puritan in Shangri La.
