no news is good news

Usually in my case, when I have no news it's because I am ashamed of my choices. :)  I won't blog if I've been bad.  Silly, but I guess if I don't say it out loud, it's not a problem.

HOWEVER, no news has been good news! I have been maintaining a steady level of weight.  Not lost anything more, but just staying between 180-182.  Which consistency is huge for me! I am just enjoying that. 

Since July hit things have just been busy. We went on our outdoor adventure vacation.  Hiking and climbing and traveling.  It was a lot of fun.  I was so proud of us for choosing to spend our week together being active and eating healthy snacks/dinners (except when my husband at White Castle! YUCK!)

After vacation week, my friend came into town.  We did lots of shopping and eating out and I was a good girl! Proud of myself and my will power. 

Last week, I took a road trip with my parents to see family in Tennessee.  I love my aunt dearly so please don't mistake me when I say this, but there really wasn't a chance to over eat at her house.  She weighs 5 pounds, and now I know why!

She eats like a mouse.
...and I eat like Templeton (you know...the fat rat from Charlotte's Web?). 

You couldn't help but eat less when you were around her. Which actually turned out to be extremely helpful! Didn't gain a single pound on that trip (even though gummy bears and chips were consumed in the car!!)

This week I have been preparing for school and enjoying my last few days of total freedom.  Come next week, I will be in full school mode.    The crock pot will become my best friend.  The luxurious breakfasts will come to a stop.  And I will struggle to exercise at 6am instead of 7.

SO...if you don't hear from me for a while, please call me out on it. 
because chances are...I am in hiding.
