I'm challenging others to post when they are not so good! Like, my saturday with the big greasy breakfast and the hamburger/with shake.
We are all human and get off track sometimes, but we try!

Red, the lumpy feeling came before my flight. Although I was active over the winter, I think not belonging to a gym is catching up to me. I still exercise 5 days a week, at least, but somehow my some of my trainer workouts get skimped on, as opposed to spin class and I've neglected my core.
Spoke, honestly I feel my eating is "good" almost all the time. I don't consider it "bad," if I have dessert once a week, or drink a glass of wine a few times a week. But, it seems like I can hardly do those things anymore without gaining inches or pounds. I go out to eat a lot, try to get healthy stuff (no fried food at all), but going out, even a couple of times a week puts temptations in front of me, like white flour products (i.e. really good bread), pasta, etc. I can avoid that at home by planning my meals to be low GI. I know I still look thin, but it is getting harder and harder to keep my weight where I want it.
I just need to get back on my bike and do some rides that are at least an hour...
