Had a bit of a setback this week. We had to fly home to husbands family in Virginia for the funeral of his grandmother. She was an awesome lady just 2 months shy of her 90th birthday. She will be dearly missed.
It was a sudden trip, we found out the news and in less than 2 hours packed and were on a plane.
I wore running shoes so I would have them with me, and packed a few running clothes along all other clothes I would need.
I managed to go running twice while there. It was nice to have just a bit of time alone, just me, and the road (and some beach running too).
The setback comes with the food. Everyone was bringing food over, we had fried chicken, potato salad, macaroni salad, lasagna, ziti pasta cassorole, bread, and last but not least - cakes, pies, cookies - omg

so much sweets!
I'm not even gonna lie and say I did great. I didn't. But I tried to keep it manageable. All everyone did was sit around, talk, and eat, and eat, and eat.
I had to really pay attention to eating. I opted for skinless chicken breast when it was offered. I stayed away from the macaroni salad (but did eat some of the potato salad). I could have kissed pa-in-law when he cooked some steamed broccoli, and deboned a rotisserie chicken - so I could actually eat something that I felt half way good about. I ate a banana and a fruit bar for breakfast most days, except for when pa-in-law got up early and made this huge breakfast for everyone that had bacon, grits, toast and scrambled eggs. I only had 2 slices of bacon, so not too bad there.
I am a bit behind in running program. I missed long run last Sunday and another 2 mile scheduled run, plus ALL of strength training.
Looking forward to this coming week and getting back into eating/running schedule.
husband broke our weight scale when he tried to weigh our suitcase before our trip! haha. So, I can't weigh myself - probably a good thing! lol!
I'm going to buy a new one this week, and wait until Friday to weigh.
Hope everyone is well, and on track with things.
