Vacation Success Story

OK...so something amazing happened - I went to Hawaii for two weeks and didn't gain any weight. In actual fact I lost some. I had gone back up to 172 prior to leaving and then dropped back to 169 as of today. LOL. I realize that using this app has taught me so much about what I should avoid in quantity that I am ok when I am let loose on the world.

My happy list:

- I DID have dessert (Haggen Daz at least 4 times - or more)
- I did NOT eat the rice - I did eat the breads (and the butter) but shared it with others at the table
- I did NOT have any snacks
- I did enjoy the local WINE LIST (x2 every time we ate out when I felt like it - and sometimes when I didn't I had a diet cola...)
- I DID go to the gym and run three times each of the weeks we were away (in fact I believe I upped my milage while running at the beach)
- I DID FEEL GREAT IN A BATHING SUIT...who knew it could happen.
- I DID get a tan
- I liked what I looked like in photos taken at the beach
- I had fun, got relaxed and didn't have to obsess about food because "I've got this!"

Take heart - if you are struggling - you are getting it - even if it seems like you aren't at the moment, you are learning how to be a healthier version of you and how to make choices you can live with that will keep you on track. So go me, and go you!!
