Nanny Nanny Boo Boo

So here I am, back home from Italy. Jet lag is about over. Bags unpacked, dishwasher emptied (how is it that men don’t know how to load or empty a dishwasher? It’s not brain surgery) and back to work.

And Nanny Nanny Boo Boo to the guy who said, “Oh, you’ll gain all the weight back that you lost while you’re in Italy.” Well I DON’T THINK SO. People, not only did I not gain an ounce, I lost 3 more pounds. 27 down. BOO-YA!!!

I have to say I was really good with myself. The only thing that  I really craved…wait for it…was a french fry. Yeah, I know. And pizza is my fav food. Go figure.  I ate a lot of fresh produce. The vegetables in Italy are so wonderful. And prepared beautifully. The fish is great as are the meats and chicken. It was no problem sticking to plan. I really did it. I have witnesses.

I am so grateful to my dear friends in Trieste who WERE and ARE so supportive. Making me special “lean and green” meals while everyone else was having carb overloads. Big shout outs to Maddy, Chiara, Raffa and Krizia, You are the best ever!!

Now that I’m back home I’ve started to do another closet inventory. It’s getting kind of sparse. But that’s ok. I still have clothes that are too small and it will be fun to try them on in another month or so. I’m loving this.

I know I’ll be back in Trieste come October. Or maybe sooner. I won’t be at my goal weight quite yet, but now I know that I can handle any food situation that arises.

I am woman hear me roar!!
