September 2nd and 3rd

Welp, this is going to be difficult.

So I'm a house guest to an incredibly nice couple (parents of a friend) and they are trying super hard to be kind and generous, which is awesome, but it is making it hard to control calories. Yes, yes, (mostly saying this to one reader now) you can always just say "no" or "I'm on a diet to lose weight" and perhaps it may come to that, but on day one, you just don't want to be argumentative, you know?

So anyway, the last two days were *not great* and I'm looking forward to getting into a regular routine again.

Sept. 2nd cals: ~2400 Not too bad considering the same issue existed but with different friends feeding me.
Sept. 2nd steps: ~3500 crappy, despite taking some discrete walking breaks during the long drive.

Sept. 3rd cals: ~3200 DISASTER. Ugh. The big tactical error was eating lunch, thinking that "no prob, I'll just eat a light dinner." Nopity nope nope. My hosts were pretty much like, "EAT EVERYTHING." No, I wasn't forced. Yes, still 100% my fault. Yes, I could just say no, blah blah blah.

Sept. 3rd steps: ~4700 terrible.

Comments:

Nothing else to say than I need to get as much of my regular routine back as soon as possible. I haven't weighed or measured since I left (I'll do that tomorrow, and probably cry acid tears of bitterness). The neighborhood here seems quiet and safe and should certainly be good for walking.
