DH and I each had uneventful travel days today, returning home after having been in different states on business all week.If you read my blog post Monday, you know what a test of commitment and creativity a press tour can be to somebody like me who’s trying to stay on plan. Now that I'm back home, I can look back on the week with no regrets - thanks in large part to the enouragement from all my faithful HYC friends who cheered me along the way.
A few “aha” moments on this trip are worth sharing. When I pulled my luggage across the inclined crossover from the parking garage to the airport terminal, I felt strong, not strained this time. Also, I was able to walk around all day every day - usually about four miles - without feeling fatigued or experiencing horrible lower back pain…which used to happen any time I had to stand a long time. I was also able to “stay aware” during meals all week, eating to satisfy hunger instead of something else.
One very nice surprise happened this afternoon when I got home. After DH asked me to go out for a healthy dinner, I changed clothes and learned I can now fit back into my size 14 pants!!
WAHOO!!

WOW!!! What wonderful NSV's! Feeling strong, mindful eating and fitting into 14's, YOU ROCK!!!!
Love those NSV's. Being able to function at a healthy level in the real world is such a bonus. You should definitely be proud of yourself with all the temptation you overcame last week. Yay for smaller sized clothes!!
WTG on the new dress size! ;) Have a great weekend!
This is fantastic!! I'm so proud of you. And, as I mentioned before, this is such an inspiration to me as I head up to Toronto this week. Thank you!
