Okay, we had Comic-Con for four days on top of hubby's birthday this weekend. So what to do when you're on such a restrictive diet? You cut yourself some slack. Here are some things that worked and some that didn't.
- We brought an amazing amount of healthy treats. Oranges, apples, Kind bars, Kashi bars, water. We ensured that at all times, we had a choice. That we didn't eat from desperation.
- Didn't completely blow the diet. We went in thinking we would blow it about half the time. I think ultimately, we did a little worse, but we also didn't beat ourselves up about it. Thursday night was pizza, but only a bit. Topped with an apple and water.
- Tests and meds were still done diligently. Scores weren't awesome, but they weren't awful either.
- We took snacks with us. Backpacks and purses full of water to stay hydrated, not to mention save money, and keep bad decisions at bay. Hungry in an hour long panel? No worries, we have Kind bars!
At the end of the experience we found that we hadn't completely demolished all the good things we did for the past two weeks. If anything, all those good habits set us up for a happy experience. We didn't feel miserable because we couldn't eat, and we didn't feel miserable because we didn't go wild either. It's all about moderation.
And now that we've celebrated, it's time to go back to healthy habits!
