My vacation victory

Last week, I spent a about 24 hours in Savannah, and then met my family at the beach. I have always gained weight on vacation. Always. And this year was no different. We eat out lunch and dinner and there is always a ton of junk food laying around.

But this year, I was different. For the first time in I don’t know how long, I let myself leave food on the plate. I didn’t have to eat everything I paid for. A few times, I boxed up half of my food before I even started eating so that I wouldn’t eat it all. I also ordered from the appetizer menu some instead of a full entree, or I would split something. I had my fair share of frozen drinks, but I also had a TON of water.

Came home Friday and my AC is out and it won’t be cheap to fix/replace. Instead of eating all the food in my house, I sat down and read a book.

I was happily surprised when I weighed in this morning to see that I was only up .5 lbs! That’s it, half a pound. Making better choices really is paying off!
