Today won’t be the hiking day I thought – too much wildfire smoke still in the air making it hard especially for my dog. So calories burnt during these next few days won’t get me to the type of workout I need. This may be an oh well moment – have to live and still plan on some of the vineyards etc throughout the area

It is nice to sit – it makes me think that I will really enjoy these upcoming mornings in the fall when I can sit outside with my coffee and plan the day as opposed to needing to be at my laptop early in the morning – will be a change that I can’t wait to undertake!

This morning routine will become more important as I move to easier days and I expect it will be easier to cook daily and/or get my workouts in. My only job being the CEO of me will be to lose this weight

This weekend, I am going to make healthy choices when I can and I am also going to give myself some leeway on enjoying the vacation

Breakfast: yogurt and mango

lunch – rest of ready made chicken and falafel salad

dinner steak potatoes and broccoli

will keep in mind that I don’t need to give up all progress just because I am on vacation!
