JustBananas's Journal, 28 Nov 22

Back from vacation visiting my brother in Berkeley and just pounding the water now to flush out all the sodium consumed (a low amount for most, but high for me).

There was lots of walking daily and on hills, too, so that was great. Breakfasts were simply fruit & coffee, a habit my brother and I have shared since high school. Lunches were big salads or power bowls, dinners were both out and at home, depending on our activity for the day.

Environment was key. No junk food in their house, the only stocked snack food was nuts, and we roasted our own seeds from squash. My SIL is Chinese, and prepping dinner (stirfries and roasted vegetables) was more social than actually eating it. We all pitched in with chopping the veggies and then walked the dog for an hour afterwards. Stretching sessions in the living room while watching movies, off to the studio for yoga on Sunday. Overall, a pretty chill holiday.

I tracked my food as best I could last week, but the basic trend was that eating in restaurants = higher sodium, and I had less protein than when I cook at home. Nice change of pace, but glad to be grinding it out again.

Remember why we are losing weight in the first place! 👁️🏆
