Aww traveling, I’m pre-writing my post right now sitting on the airplane sipping a plastic glass of wine and thinking to myself “how can I undo all the baklava, wine, and other goodies I had while in Michigan.  Then I remember, I loved every single one of those things I had.  I thoroughly enjoyed them and I REFUSE to stress over them.
I spent way too long of my short 28 years on this earth stressing about food, that’s just stupid.  I save that kind of energy for a real world ending scenarios or something truly important.  Don’t get me wrong, food is important, it is fuel for the body and soul.  Most of my days are about feeding my body for performance and body composition, but vacations, trips, and holidays are about sharing an experience with the people I love.
So now what do I do that I’m feeling a little fluffier?  Feeling a little tighter in the jeans?  Meh, not much.  There was a time in my life when I would have cut all carbs and most calories until I realized exactly how detrimental that was to my health.
Now, I’ll focus on super clean eating.  I’ll attempt to add a veggie with every meal and avoid sugar/alcohol until Thanksgiving.  I could stress about it but why?  The only one that really truly cares about how much I weigh or how tight my pants are is me.
Coincidently, I’m also the only one that has the power to clean up my diet and I refuse to make an ordeal out of it. In addition to the awesome treats I had, I also had several salads and healthy breakfast options.  I went on a 10-mile run and worked out, I was not sedentary, I was super active.
 I know it will all balance out in the end, but it took me a long time to develop that way of thinking.  A long time to trust in my body, a long time to trust in my body’s ability to self-regulate, a long time to recognize the importance of sleep, a long time to love exercise, a long time to stop determine my value based on the scale, a long time to let go and enjoy life.
It did not, however, take a long time to fall in love with these bomb quesadillas. Â Oh yes, these are BOMB DOT COM, yes I still stay that and yes it is appropriate for these quesadillas. Â The first bite I took I knew I hit the gold mine and btw they are even better the next day. Â Love it when food gets better with age instead of worse.

Mine is definitely spending time with the people I go with. Â I love quality time, I could eat it up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If I have your attention, I’m the happiest I could be. If we are sharing in an experience, I’m happier than happier. Â
