I just returned from a month in Hawaii with family. I'd been so looking forward to an active fun filled time! When I started out here at MFP I was determined to be stronger & healthier so I could keep up with all the 20-somethings...
well...
let me tell you!
:bigsmile:
I outlasted them all!
I only spent 6 days not snorkeling, scuba diving or surfing (can you believe it?!) It was an absolute blast! A dream come true!
Even though I hadn't reached my goal weight by vacation time - I was able to keep up & do everything everyone else did & more!
With all that exercise I was able to eat (&drink!)
anything I wanted & I still weighed in at 1 pound lower than when I left!
:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
It was the most amazing month. My grown daughter commented that she'd never seen me enjoy so many activities & always be ready to do whatever they could think up. I told her that I've decided that the next time I have an opportunity I'll be even older, so I'd better try everything when it comes up.
From now on, I WILL NOT be left on the beach! :bigsmile: I'll be the one out in the water with the kids - not inside taking a nap!:bigsmile:
I know I'm no bathing beauty, & my recent loss has left me saggier than ever - but that's who I am & I may never pass this way again!

Congrats! What a great vacation... and the memories you have created for you family...to be there doing those things right along with them!

It was just so cool to be able to do all the water sports & spend so much time in the water with the kids. I guess I really have increased my metabolism more than I realized.
I even went to water aerobics with my SIL & did a little hiking!0 -

It is great to see it can be done when you start the journey.
Well done and keep it going0 -
Wow a month in Hawaii! That is superb!
I love that you are happiest about the energy, strength and stamina you enjoyed! I loved going to NYC with the 'kids' and having them tell ME they needed to break for lunch:laugh:
I cant believe you even surfed! That is so cool!
Next time you go, you may be older-but you will be in even better shape!!

I told her that I've decided that the next time I have an opportunity I'll be even older, so I'd better try everything when it comes up.
