home is where my heart is.

I try not to travel too far so that I won't have to worry about if I'll find a gym or if following my nutrition program will be a hassle. Its always easier when dieting down to just stay at my own home. Last year I ventured home for 4th of July and a baby shower and both times nutrition wise were a disaster.

This year so far my family has been the most supportive loving and accommodating as they could possibly be. I couldn't be more appreciative. They ask before I get there what foods I'll need so the refrigerator is stocked and all I have to worry about is cooking. Even if maybe she buys the wrong mrp brand or wrong veggies I love my mom for trying. My moms definitely the biggest support system I have right now. But overall the entire family does such a good job not letting me lose too much focus
At the same time, trips home are supposed to be a break, a celebration, a vacation. Ill be heading home Sunday. Its a long overdue visit for me and I'm looking forward to seeing everybody and getting away. I'm taking a little workout break. Not a long one just a couple of days. Its also my sisters birthday and if anybody knows how to celebrate birthdays its my family. There will be bbq pits grilling and drinks flowing and ofcourse a CAKE. Cake is my enemy right now. I love my nutrition program and so I'm not too worried about trading my grilled chicken for fajitas..but cake is my weakness. Desserts are my weakness.

I'm going to do what I can to stay far far away from the dessert. I've been stressing all week about this visit and my diet. But I got the txt this morning asking for the grocery list and a sense of relief has come over me.

Nobody said this would be easy. Its loaded with struggles, obstacles, sacrifices. This is my choice, competing, its nobody else's choice but my own and so I will take on everydays challenge with a smile on my face and a strong mind.
