Try it once and you're SUCKED BACK IN!!

As many of you know, I am off wheat 90% of the time and really do feel amazing. I have not had any substantial cravings, weight fluctuations and mood swings. Well, this week-end I was at a retreat with a bunch of ladies and there was dessert at every meal, not to mention the amount of snacks 23 women can bring for the evenings back at the cottage! i tried so hard to be good but all my good intentions went out with window with the chocolate covered almonds! Why can't i refuse them?!
So needless to say I had...some. And now its Monday, back home, back at work and I'm sugar craving! This is insane. I feel like I need a detox from the amount of food I ate this week-end compared to my regular diet, even though the meals where healthy, its still the quantity that can hurt. I feel bloated and jiggly around my waistline...and it was only 2 days!
This just proved to me over and over again, how we need to get on track and stay on track or else we can slide back into old habits VERY easily. I even felt physically drained, mentally foggy and tired just from the food and lack of movement. I AM happy that I can sense what my body needs and how to fix it because many people just have a hard time knowing why they feel lethargic. Sunday morning I went out just for a 25min run and did hills! I got my heart rate WAY up, my breathing was heavy and I was sweating...that's all I need to clear my head and put myself into a MUCH better frame of mind.
So in conclusion, here are my life lessons I learn this week-end;
1) Bring healthy treats for yourself so you wont get tempted by the sugary treats. Then you also won't have to battle your own cravings for the week after
2) Keep moving! Get out side when you can, don't tell yourself you don't have enough time cause you don't need much

Stay on track my friends, i know you can! Summer is coming; cottage season, pool season, vacation time...everything in moderation.
