Welp. A 24-hour delay turned into " The airport has decided to close for 2 days, and they're not sure about the third day, so on the fourth day you now get to pay for a very expensive taxi to go to another city 4 hours away to hopefully fly out 4 days later than anticipated"

Y'all this trip has been I N S A N E. We have been so lucky to have always had really blissful travel experiences in the past, I've never even lost a suitcase 😂 But navigating all of these changes with two little kids in tow and a foster baby at home who we are all homesick for has been really really difficult... Not to mention all of the additional expenses have almost tripled our original cost...

On a positive note, I was SO stressed at dinner as we scrambled for new plans and I was able to I want walking just focus on planning mode and processing through the missed expectations rather than emotionally eat. And I woke up to a new low! I kept telling myself I didn't also want to be physically weighed down, and I'm determined to keep making the best choices I can amidst the whirlwind of changes.

Good news:
I managed to see steady, small weight loss on our trip!
Workout views are gorgeous!
Most meals have ample veg options!
Fresh water everywhere

Less good news 😂:
Our tropical vacay has been stormy and SO rainy
Last night our dinner was tapas style and it was all SO saucy - up nearly 2lb today 😱
Our flights are delayed 24 hrs or more so far...more time to fill on veg and water and try to rebalance the scales to be a WL-vacay? 😂

Thoroughly enjoying our Costa Rican getaway this week! SO many veggie options and fresh gourmet foods. Reminding myself at meal times that the sheer fact I don't have to prepare and clean up after my own meals IS the treat (as opposed to doing desserts on the daily 😂)
Idk if I'll get to my DB goal, but so far I'm trending down on this trip, so I'm pleased!

Random lunch I'm loving lately! Caesar salad w roasted chickpeas and grilled chicken using the 2B Caesar dressing + a side of roasted savory pecans!

1.5 from the 150s. Come onnnnnnn!
Going for a cold hike this morning w 7 littles 😆 wish me luck

Tried something new for our small group this weekend: sloppy Joe bowls!

I used about 2lb ground turkey and half a bag caulirice (could def use the whole bag in the future) in the sloppy Joe recipe I found online.

Then, roasted sweet potatoes, russet potatoes, cauliflower florets and served alongside lettuce, pickles, cheese and pickled onions.

It was a hit! Relatively simple (prepped most ahead) and cheap and I just served mine over a bed of the lettuce!
