Lost weight over vacation!!

Okay so I have to share!! I lost 2.5 lbs over vacation when I was planning on just maintaining. We took the kids to Disney which I knew meant lots of walking but also lots of eating out. My husband is also trying to lose weight so we sent 2 rules, we'd only eat one hamburger(which we saved for good ones) and we ate breakfast in our room with the exception of the character breakfast we did. We steered clear of buffets and drank lots of water. We had ice cream 2x but shared and also shared meals. Sharing meals was wonderful on the pocketbook too ;-) We subbed side salads for fries and brought a healthy snack with us every day. I logged everyday staying at maintenance level calories, only going over the day of the character breakfast-the juice was amazing, I should have stuck with water!! Anyway I had to share!

My tips for a smart vacation....share, stay active, drink water and keep logging!!

Wow, that's amazing!! Really inspiring - I think so many of us (myself included) just give up on vacations, but a Vegas trip that I gained weight on was really the tipping point of why I'm here. Thanks for taking the time to share!
