Vacation Win

EvilShenanigansTX

I just got back from a vacation in Bologna, Italy. It is in an area known as the bread basket because it is where most of the produce is grown. It is also home to some popular Italian classics such as Parmesan cheese, mortadella, prosciutto, and bologenese sauce served on homemade tagliatelle pasta just to name a few. It also has amazing gelato shops, all kinds of amazing cured meats, smoked and fresh cheese, and did I mention the pasta? Yeah ... so I went there for 5 glorious days and now I am back home. With a heart full of dread I got on the scale today and ....

I did not gain weight!

I logged all my food obsessively, cooked meals in the apartment we rented rather than eat out (the markets has AMAZING food and fresh made pasta daily), walked rather than ride the bus (10k steps daily), and stayed in an apartment on the 3rd floor with no elevator. I am so proud of myself for not letting go completely! I was so worried that I would come back 10 pounds heavier, but I did my best to be mindful of what I ate and it worked!
