What a weekend! As cabin fever was about to get the best of me, mother nature gave me a reprieve and some nice weather. I got to take the day off Friday and head up north to fish for the first time of the 08 season. I went by my uncle’s and it was well worth it. The temperature was in the mid 60’s with plenty of sun and hardly any wind. The water was still very cold but it’s warming steadily. My uncle is one of my best friends and we talk about anything and everything when were out fishing together. He was asking about NS and how I like it now after being on it for some time. We talked about how the food becomes tiresome and selection seems to dwindle as my tastes grow more selective and sensitive to tomatoes sauce. I still have the same number of choices; I’m just becoming more finicky as I roll on.
In my time with my aunt and uncle, my aunt cooks all the meals for both my uncle and me. When she went shopping prior to me arriving, she shopped very lean and try to get non-fat or low-fat everything. She told me she didn’t want to be the reason for me breaking my diet and falling off the wagon. I’m grateful to have a family that wants nothing but the best for me, but it’s so hard to explain to them that it’s not a diet and when I reach my goal, I’m not going to revert to an old lifestyle.
I can eat anything I want as long as the portion size are controlled and the foods I eat are nutrient dense. If I want to have bacon, I can have bacon. I just can’t have a pound of it with biscuits and gravy, hash browns and buttery toast. We went out to eat and I showed them how to make healthy choices at a restaurant that is known for high fat food. My aunt really liked the asking for a to-go container just after ordering. When I got my food I immediately cut it in half and put the other half of it in the container. I actually couldn’t finish the half I kept on my plate and sent it back when I was finished. We did split dessert, but it was my birthday and you got to have cake on your birthday! http://blog.members.nutrisystem.com/photos/roc3/picture149481.aspx
