This past week we took a road trip from New York to Florida….we thought it would be fun to fly up and then drive back home making stops along the way. But what a way to kill the momentum of my diet!

First off…the time sitting in the car could be used to be active, but being in a small car there was no way to be active. So what I did to conquer this road block was everytime we would stop for a break, bathroom stop or to get something to eat or drink, I would do what I had to do and then walk circles around the car until everyone was ready. I know, it is not a long walk, but it at least got my blood moving.

Second, when we shopped for snacks in the car everyone bought junk food! and more junk food! I bought water, pretzels and that was about it. It is hard to not snack while driving, but when you are sitting there for hours on end with nothing to do, you cannot help but eat a little here, then a little there and before you know it you have packed on 5 pounds in a 10 hour drive.

I know that I could have done better during my trip, but I looked at it this way……we will be home soon and I can start all over when we get there.

So here I go again and will be starting this weekend…well, maybe on Monday….

 Stay tuned because I have some great ideas and diet ideas that I thought of after we returned from vacation!

Happy dieting!
