Day 183

Well I’m in the fine state of Virginia and I’m having a wonderful time. Adjei is in love with his Sarbeng family and he is having a blast. I’m doing pretty darn great for being around my amazing mother in law’s cooking. My mother in law bakes chicken and it tastes like it was prepared at a top-notch restaurant. It’s just delicious! She makes this rice dish called Jollof that I can seriously eat it until I can’t breath. She knows it’s my favorite so she makes it every time we come down. I had some but I probably ate half of what I normally do. I’m not going to lie, I ate a lot tonight but I’m going to attempt to track it all. I just can’t really behave that well when I’m on vacation, even when it’s a mini one. Tomorrow we are going to Mount Vernon, home of George Washington, so I can do some running and Adjei can ride his scooter. If I eat a ton, I will feel better if I do some exercise. I’m going to eat what I want tomorrow but I will measure it and track on paper so I know exactly how much I’m eating.

I almost forgot to do some bragging about today. I did eat really well on the road. I only snacked on fruit and I prepared a healthy lunch for the whole family so we didn’t eat junk at the rest stops. So yay for me.
