Don't let boredom make you eat ..

I'm baaaaaack! Back from my 10 day vacation in the T-dot!

But I have to admit ... I had a hard time staying on the path of being fit and fierce at 40 ... while on vacation. When I'm in my regular routine, I'm good! My goal on my trip, though, was to spend time with my family (who I see once a year if I'm lucky) and to not over schedule myself ... which I do at home. But don't let this happen to you ... don't let boredom make you eat! Let me tell you ... sitting around with nothing pressing to do makes me want to snack on something every 10 minutes ... and I'm not even watching TV! Thank goodness my sister (who I stayed with) just recently cleaned out her cupboards of most of her junk. Yes I said MOST ... not ALL. That's right ... I found the big bag of chocolate chips in the back ... hiding behind the oatmeal. (I threw a few in my oatmeal porridge one morning). I stumbled on the dark chocolate bar in the fridge underneath the bag of mini carrots (I'll have three carrots and 1 square of chocolate please!). And don't forget the jar of Kraft peanut butter. (I grew up on that stuff ... maybe if I have an apple with it, it won't be so bad.) I won't beat myself up too much though. I've worked out every other day I was there and ... hell ... I'm on vacation ... bring on the boredom! Because I know when I get back and Paul Anthony Neil (trainer with three names ... look out!) gets a hold of me ... I'm going to wish I never uttered the words "chocolate" ...
