Today as I slid on my jeans for work... I was actually
planning on probably having to slide them back off again because they
were too tight. NOPE! If anything, they were looser! As planned,
while in Mexico, I ate and drank everything I wanted to. Fortunately,
that is a LOT of great fresh Mexican food! I never really eat junk
food in Mexico because it's all just weird stuff. Even if I am feeling
snacky, and go into a corner store, I almost always come out empty
handed because 1. I don't know what anything is and 2. None of it looks
appetizing to me. 
My downfall was traveling home. I am VERY CAREFUL about
what I eat around plane trips for fear of a repeat of the puking
incident, but once we got back in Boston ...and ended up stranded there
for 2 days (thank you American Airlines for losing the one bag with our
car keys in it). I must admit, all bets were off. A combo of emotions
and "let's eat all the bad stuff before getting back on it Monday, "
led to a weekend of debauchery. - There was Pirate's Booty
- There was a mini Ben and Jerry's cookie dough cup
- There were cheez its
- There was chinese take-out
- There was Carrabas bread and lobster ravioli (with the insides squished out because it was nasty)
- There were egg Mcmuffins
- And last night when we got home... I had a "last meal" of pancakes.
My only saving grace was that it was all vending machine food, so all small bags ;-)
Back to it today. Fought a lot of urges to make cupcakes
and eat bad food because I have a nasty cold and feel like shit. But I
didn't. I made delicious salad (I actually missed salad and craved it
in Mexico!), and Lonnie made a wonderful Pezole soup that was JUST
what the doctor ordered for my cold.
I did have an egg Mcmuffin for breakfast because I
overslept and then had to rush off to work. But there are certainly
worse things, and I didn't let it make me think the whole day was
ruined.
