The Rains down in Africa

So as you all know I've been gone for the month of June. It was a long month and I spent it in Ethiopia. The food there was good. Can't say I would go out of my way to get it again, but I do know what I like if ever presented with the opportunity again.

So over this trip I lost some weight. I went down to my last belt notch even. Which is really nice for me, but also incredibly frustrating because none of my pants quite fit right now. You may be thinking "GO SHOPPING!!!" But that will be on hold until at least August rolls around. I think the biggest feat/challenge right now is to not eat everything in sight. It's certainly going to be a challenge, but I believe I can do it.

I weighed myself the day I got home and then again today (its been one week) and I've managed to gain one pound. SO obviously I need to stray away from bad food now.

This morning I ate a mango. I'm well on track... see? I'm stopping the soda again now that I've had every possible one I could want to drink and I suppose beer and alcohol of any sort is going to be off limits. Considering how the 4th of July went I'm totally okay with that.

I've also managed to deep fry myself, but that is beside the point. But once this burn goes away I'm back outside at 8am to go jogging. No matter how horribly humid it is. Ew. Keeping it short and sweet.
