Vacation

So in just a little over a day I am going on vacation to Santa Fe, NM with a stop in Colorado Springs to see Chris. I am super excited but a little worried about my diet. I have got down to 207 lbs and I am super proud of myself but I am worried that I will gain a whole bunch back on my vacation. I do want to enjoy my vacation and have fun going out so I am not going to stick to my diet quite as much and I will be drinking some but I am hoping I can balance everything. There are a lot of walking tours and outside activities in Santa Fe so I am hoping all the walking will help offset any splurges. I still plan on tracking all my food so I have at least an idea of what I am consuming but I am not going to work so hard on counting calories. One of the things that I am most concerned about is breakfast because so many people eat carb laden food for breakfast I am worried that I might not be able to find things like eggs and bacon. I was thinking of making a dozen hard cooked eggs before the trip and keeping them in a cooler or something so that I have access to something I am comfortable eating but I just don't know how that will work logistically.

Losing Track of Time

Wow it has been like three weeks since I last blogged. It feels like it was just a week ago. For some reasons after my last blog my weight went right back up but in the last week I have cut out almost all processed food and I am now down to 209. I have been cooking so much lately because there isn't really any quick unprocessed meals. I mean I do eat a lot of hard-cooked eggs and those don't take too much effort but since I am also trying to stay fairly low carb that means a lot of meat which means cooking. I really don't mind it as much and I am getting more creative in finding new recipes. There are so many paleo recipes that it is easy to find recipes that will work for me. I am not eating strictly paleo because I don't want to quit using butter but I have cut out cheese for now. Also it is hard to find a good paleo salad dressing. I also eat a lot of bacon almost everyday I have bacon (not yet today but maybe later).
