I took a little hiatus from the blog but I have returned. The carnivore diet attempt (for me) was pointless. I love fruits and veggies way too much to just eat straight protein and honestly, I was concerned about missing out on vitamins and minerals that are essential to my overall health. Thus, I continued to plateau and fret about my lack of will power and motivation. I knew I had a huge vacation coming up and I felt like attacking my plan too hard would be like sabotaging myself. (Justification is an art, my friends).
So here we are. The big vacation has been taken. I am back home and a few pounds heavier because who worries about diets when they are on a cruise? I certainly didn’t let anything stop me from grazing and indulging and now I must face the music that I danced to.
Let me first give thanks to the lovely stomach virus for kick starting my journey and shaving off some of the extra pounds. It was unexpected, and horribly and living on the BRAT diet for a few days has sucked rocks, but it did motivate me in some weird fashion.
While away, I never worried about how I looked. My journey so far is responsible for that. I was very comfortable in my own skin amidst literally, thousands of other people. I was able to let go and relax, be myself and make some lasting memories because I wasn’t hung up on my body image. This is a big win for me!
I am not where I want to be yet, but this getaway showed me that I am well on my way. I am once again inspired to hit the trail and rejoin my fellow travelers. My fridge is currently bare and awaiting a grocery run. My list is being made carefully along with a list of activities I must do that will keep me moving (even with a bad back). Stay tuned for updates!
