back from vaca!

Sep 21, 2010

Boy did I have a good time!  This is the first time I have vacationed since my WLS and I am proud of the way I handled it.  I took my pedometer and walked 21,000 steps from the time I left home and arrived at my cruise cabin on the first day.  No elevator and no electronic walkways.  I did not have to use a seat belt extender and had room to spare on the plan and I almost cried on the flight due to this.  I completed workouts in the gym and completed my 75 minute walking excursion.  I have traveled before and NEVER even though of using the gym and have taken excursions by taxi or bus so it felt really good to walk.

At night I danced different hustles and went around the deck in the conga line twice.  I proudly wore my swim suit and strutted around in it like I was supermodel instead of wearing that and a cover up. 

I did not order two entrees, wait from my friends to leave so I can overeat and did not have one hamburger or fry.  In the past I would eat two burgers at a time and all the fries I could stuff in me then lay in the sun like a fat lizard.  After I ate this time I found something active to do. 

I gained 1.5 lbs and did not feel guilty or bad about it in that did not eat like food is not going to be produced or cooked ever again. I had some problems with the water on the ship and had some GI problems the first two days and felt that I made better food choices there because there was so many different foods to choose from, my eyes were not bigger than my stomach and I will be better at this at my next vacation.

I took my camera to take pictures to add here but there is something wrong with it and I am taking it back tomorrow for a refund ( the off/on button looks like it is stuck and it won't work).
