I'm back. I couldn't login and I think I ended up logging in differently, but at least I'm here.
I was on vacation for 2 weeks in the Dominican and did pretty good. It was so hot and humid that I was a lot less active than I'd planned. I couldn't run more than 5km and even that was a serious challenge. I ran 5 times and I worked out at the gym three times. I was about 80% compliant in terms of eating and I thoroughly enjoyed the 20% that I wasn't. I found a new drink - gin and soda water with lime. I use to drink gin and tonics (a long, long time ago), but tonic water is high in carbs. I actually really liked the gin and soda - light and refreshing. I enjoyed some wine as well. I splurged and had some pina coladas, but not too many. I couldn't believe how sweet they tasted.
Even though I felt I wasn't terrible on vacation, I was up 10 pounds. I am an expert at gaining weight. I know a lot of it was water. I was noticeably retaining water while we were there - I had to take my wedding ring off. I'm not upset about the gain but am working now to get down. I'm about 3 lbs off from what I was before we left now.
I'm at the gym three times this week. Yesterday was my second day and I had a new personal best with the deadlift - 255 lbs for one rep! Crazy.
Running is going really well. I'm getting faster ;)
This is a stressful time - we are moving across the country. My dd graduates from university, my son graduates from high school. My daughter is getting married in July and we are driving from one end of the country to the other. Kids are stressed. I am stressed. I am not good about eating when stressed so I'm trying to concentrate on alternatives. Today I wanted to go out and buy ice cream but I had eggs with sausage and cheese instead and then made myself a keto dessert.
