I’m on vacation down in Panama City Beach, so I’ve only got a few minutes before I run down to the condo sun deck and take in some Vitamin D the natural way.

I’m glad to have made it to Week 16.  That matches my previous endeavor, and I’m convinced I’ll get back home on Sunday and get back to exercise and eating.  I was disappointed last week because I finally broke the 14 week exercise regimen when I had planned to only take this week off, but I’m missing it.  Yeah.  Actually missing it.

And what’s more — I’m missing eating better. I’m eating foods that I’m enjoying, but really, I feel better when I eat lower carbs than I am this week.  I’m more in a moderate carb mode and not full blow-out.  I can’t eat a full size meal.  My stomach just won’t hold it, and frankly, I’m glad for that; it’s keeping me in check.  Plus, there have been a couple of times where carb intake has made me feel sick to my stomach. (I’m assuming that’s what caused it; usually if I go up in carbs, it’s not with sugar, and the occasions I’ve had sugar have also been when my stomach has said “NO!”)

Still.  I wanted to check in and say this is doable in the long term.  I’m glad this is working out the way it is.  Granted, there are things that I’m not able to on vacation (yet), mostly because of mobility issues, but I’m far better off than I was a few months ago.  On to next week — and beyond!
