Back from an amazing vacation!!
I am working on a cruise post but for now, I wanted to circle back on how I did on my vacation with staying on plan.
1. Stay away from the buffet's - WIN! Didn't even walk into one!
2. Stay away from the foo foo drinks - WIN! Didn't partake...wine and
beer however...don't ask.
3. Drink your water - WIN! Didn't drink as much as I do at home but
did ok!
4. Do not take the elevator - FAIL! I forgot how flipping BIG this ship
is...with the Deck we were on, virtually everything was more than 5
flights... that said I did get a lot of activity in with all of the walking!
5. No eating after dinner - WIN! I went with the boys several times to
get snacks but was good!
6. Log my food - FAIL! I was really good the first few days and then the
wheels fell off.
7. Start every meal with a garden salad - FAIL! I forgot my dressing
(my son was so happy because he was already embarrassed)!
8. Exercise every day - FAIL! If there was an EPIC FAIL, I would
assign it to myself since I did not intentionally exercise ONCE. We were
super active with other things so I guess it came out in the wash.
8. Nip the mindless nibbling in the Concierge Lounge prior to dinner-
WIN! I nibbled a little but did not go crazy.
9. Plan for my splurges - WIN! I enjoyed every last bite of that Red
Velvet cake...took me 5 days to eat it but it was wonderful! Souffle
was mostly left on the table since it was not as good as last year. We
will not discuss the ridiculous amounts of guac and Tecate Lite while in
Mexico... was amazing and I would do it again. I will, in fact, next time
I am there!
10. Become a "food snob" - WIN! I left many things on my plate if
they were not something that was really really good.
11. Stay out of the bread basket - WIN! I had a few but certainly not
every night and I really paid attention to it.
I also took my withings scale and weighed in every day...everyone
thought I was insane but I think that is the ONE THING that made the
difference. I will definately be taking that bad boy on all long vacays
from now on...
Bottom line - I gained 2.6 lbs from the time we went into vacation
mode (my son's friend came two days before and we were eating out
nonstop)! I certainly didn't maintain but I'm pretty happy with that
given what I did eat and with all of the alcohol...
Miami weekend AND a cruise? I'm down 1.2 of that in 2 days so I am
feeling good and am back at it. On a mission for that next 10 lbs!
