My "But For" System Continues

The weekend was awesome! The weather was beautiful, we spent a lot of time outside, I went for a run and cooked healthy meals. But for all of the alcohol consumed, it would have been a stellar-ly healthy weekend.

Food

Breakfast - Yogurt and fresh fruit
Lunch - Home Chef steak, potatoes and asparagus
Snack - apple
Dinner - Chicken salad

But for the Krispy Kreme I ate this morning, it would be a fantastic food day! Honestly, things are going really well here. I'm not losing weight like I would hope, but I'm eating pretty clean and healthy and I'm maintaining like a champ. I will take it.

Fitness

I went for a run at lunch today. I really do feel like I'm making progress. There is no denying that losing 15-20 pounds would make things tremendously easier, but I'm working with what I got. I haven't been using my Fitbit to pace my running. I think I'm just going to run (and live) without it the next few weeks. My hope is that when I start using it again in a few weeks, I might see a positive uptick in the pace. Wouldn't that be fun?!

Fashion

Today's Gwynnie Bee dress:

I have worn this same dress in about 30 different patterns, it seems. It is easy, comfortable, non-wrinkly and just easy. It is nice to try bold patterns that I might not otherwise wear because I wouldn't buy them. Wearing them once then moving on has proven ideal for me.

The next three weeks are going to be challenging. I have my uncle's funeral this weekend and a trip next weekend to Vegas which will bleed into the following week. My goals are simple. Enjoy my family and my travels without using them as an excuse to go off the rails. Things are all easy peasy lemon squeezy until I step on the scale and gain 5 pounds without even knowing how it came about.

Hugs!
