Shore Leave

This week has been Week 16 and part of the two week period I call "Shore Leave". This week and next are two weeks I use to take a small break. I want to keep exercising/working out but allow myself indulges. 

There is one thing: don't go overboard. Don't gain weight. Have a potato or sweet dessert. Have a beer or fancy drink. Have a heavy sauced pasta dish. BUT NOT ALL IN THE SAME DAY!!!!!  Spread these things out over the week. You may realize that because your taste buds have reset those things are not as good. This past weekend I stopped at Danny's for Tator Wedges. Purchased a large, ate all but all I was thinking about was just how greasy they were. Yesterday I saw pancakes and sausage here on the hotel breakfast bar. All day I thought it would be great to roll up sausage in the pancake. I did it this morning but it was not as great as the I thought it would be. 

Choose your indulges wisely. 

Reminder:After week 17 then comes week 1 back on South Beach. 

Thinking about how to up my game for my workout.
