Have been on vacation & cruise for the past 1.5 weeks, and instead of doing maintenance I went super crazy and ate and drank like a binger. I can try to say it's because I was keeping up with the group I went with or that I wanted to get my money's worth of food and drink, but in the end I made the choice to choose food over my progress from the past few months, and am up 10lbs on return. Hoping some of that will fall off as I'm back on track starting today, so we will see how next weeks weigh in looks. On the positive had an amazing cruise, pretty sure I had more drinks in the past week than I have had in the past 5 years but tried to keep up with the younger sisters!

Starting weight:203
Goal weight:176
Current weight:193 figured out I need a new scale!!!
Total weight lost: 0
This week's successes: made it to yoga class!
This week's challenges: need to buy a new scale and eating healthy while on business travel....greater temptation when your job is paying for! Also makes me miss my yoga classes and I hate that! I've grown from pushing myself to go, to missing it because of work. So I'm going to say that is growth!
Well at least I'm being honest!

@dembkogirl You will drop a lot of the cruise weight quickly. I love cruising. We go 2-3 each year and I always gain. I have 236 days to wait till our next cruise.

Well obviously I made a typo in the above post. Weight lost should be 33 pounds not 3 pounds. I am fairly new to MFP and not terribly computer literate. How does one update this post each week. And is there a way to edit as in the case of my typo.

@dembkogirl we are doing the Halloween (so much fun!) western Caribbean and then the Panama canal a month later. After that we are doing a transatlantic and then the Geek Islands. Wish they had another transatlantic back home. It is so much more fun after the weight loss.

Used this post on several challenges, so lets get started.

@Jimb376mfp - You got this! Go back to basics and working the plan to get to goal. Go to a meeting or two and get the stuff that is sabotaging you out of the house. Maybe get some more laps in?
