Staying Paleo at Disneyland (Day 2)

Since we were traveling yesterday, I wrote a pretty good blog post offline while on the plane, but even with Hubby's help we couldn't get it to copy and paste to here... so I'm starting on Day 2 of our vacation.  Which may end up being my only post while on vacation since we will busy the other days. 

I weighed in yesterday and was up a pound.  Did a lot of negative self talk and was beating myself up for the poor choices I made on Tuesday and Wednesday.  But as Linda, my Weight Watcher leader, pointed out I did well 5 days out 7.  Good point, because it was much better than the previous week, plus I did much better with my activity (thank you, Windy, for keeping me accountable!).  I ran two days and worked out (15 minute DVD, but better than nothing!) for 3 days.  I had planned on doing a 6.5 mile run on Sunday, but due to my fibroid issues, I went for a 3 mile walk instead.

So, here I am.  Day 2 of our trip.  Yesterday I felt like I was coming down with a cold, but with a combination of Emergen-C, zinc lozenges, and Coldcalm tablets, I feel remarkably well today.  Maybe I avoided the cold... maybe not.  But for the moment, I feel great.  I am going to continue with the anti-cold combination today because the last thing I need is a cold when I'm less than 24 hours from our first race.

I'm counting on Hubby to help me make better food choices on this trip.  He's awesome at maintaining the Paleo/Primal lifestyle.  While I do well in spurts.  As Sibyl says, I'm Paleo-ish.  I tend to be Paleo on good days, but bad days... well, I'm usually anything but Paleo!

Okay, keeping this short today.  Hubby and I are on our way to Packet Pick-Up and Half Marathon Expo.  This is an event all by itself.  12,000 participants, along with family and friends, crowd the Disneyland Hotel to get their gear.  Not sure it's fun, but it's never boring.  And Hubby and I have been known to strike up conversations with people in line about running, doing RunDisney, doing races, whatever.  Which is weird because we're both basically introverts. 

Will try to do a post after races to let you know if I survived or not!
