We spent the overnight Saturday at a full Indoor Waterpark about 50 miles from home. We needed to get away! The kids had great fun and even Willa got in the water. We watched a bit of tv and played arcades. They swam Saturday night and sunday morning.
We basically let the kids go off the diet for a bit, within reason. Saturday night they got a hot dog meal with fries, but drank OJ instead of any pop. They didn't notice. Sunday morning the were so looking forward to the "waffle making" at the continental breakfast I couldn't say no.
We brought fruit to snack on though, so it wasn't too terrible.
I did OK, but cheated a bit. Saturday night I chose the least cheating thing on the menu, which was a beef/lamb gyro. So I ate about 1/2 a pita, and I did eat the fries! The horror!
I also (full confession time) took about 3 bites of the kids' waffles, but restrained myself from sampling the donuts. I also slugged down their oj which I am not to have yet. I did have the sense not to eat a ton of that stuff, and while it still tasted good, I did receive the brain signals that if I consumed a lot of it, I would not feel good afterward. If you recall my earlier blog about craving bad food even tho you feel bad afterward but not stopping you, maybe I am improving? It could be that weaning yourself off the addiction actually clears that brain signal? Interesting development.
Anyway, long story but Justin had a party that evening so he went there and stayed home and came back to the hotel in the am, bringing with him boiled eggs for us.
We headed back around noon and were going to stop to eat, but couldn't stomach even "diner" food. So we went for our wonderful improv meal. It's so great, and everyone should do it if travelling. You feel SOOOOO much better after eating even more than a nice restaurant, and costs less.
We stop at a supermarket and buy a rotisserrie chicken. Then we "splurge" and buy a bunch of fresh berries (at least a container for each person) and maybe some cheese or this time we bought some hummus and organic corn chips (just corn and oil!). It was so good! Then we have a picnic in the car. It sure does beat taking the kids in a restaurant, paying a lot, or feeling crappy and can't really even buy that food in a restaurant either. Also beats packing dry old sandwiches.
Well, I also have to confess that for the past couple days I've been flavoring my 1 coffee for the day with some cocoa that has sugar. I just cannot drink unsweetened coffee!
