Okay, so I forgot about blogging for a couple of weeks. Okay, I forgive myself. Hey, I have an excuse--we were on vacation last week, and I had a great time. And I even lost weight while on vacation. So that's a major feat in itself.
Vacation tip
I decided in advance that I wasn't going to "track" during vacation. But I didn't want to go "hog wild" either. My goal was to either maintain or even lose a little. So I lost a little! Yay. I thought I could accomplish this by eating sensibly (most of the times), have a few treats here and there (hey, it was a vacation), and get in a lot of exercise. And it worked! We decided not to rent a car, since neither my husband nor I were too keen on the idea of driving anyway. We both find it more restful and relaxing to take a vacation away from the car as well as away from home. So we walked everywhere! And we walked a lot. It was great. Just wish I had the time to do that all the time--but work is just a little too far away. And my eating strategy worked--mostly ate things that I knew would be healthy and low in points, so I was able to indulge in an occasional dessert or glass of wine. Since I've been back home, I'm back to my typical "on plan" eating patterns but haven't been tracking until today--cause today was the day I went to my meeting. So now I know I can do it. Slowly but surely, said the tortoise to the hare.
The Numbers
I don't recall if I've been giving any numbers up until now, but here are a few weeks. I lost a pound and a half while on vacation (or some time in the two weeks since attending my last meeting).
My total weight loss so far: 7.5 lbs. At this rate, I'm losing about a pound a week--so I'm within the WW guidelines for healthy weight loss. I'm very pleased with that. And in just a few short months (alright maybe they won't be so short--since we're coming up on winter), I should be halfway to my goal. That's "weigh" okay.
