Well, I'm not sure how things went over vacation. The scale is not happy - says I gained 5 lbs. But I know that isn't entirely accurate. We spent over 10 hours in the car yesterday, and I can see how swollen my ankles and feet still are this morning. So I figure that out of that 5 lbs, some of it is fluid and some is food. How much of each I guess we'll see next week.
My food choices weren't all good ones, but overall I'm pretty happy with the decisions I made. There were some planned indulgences to be sure. And a few unplanned ones. But I also made a lot of good choices, more than I usually would on vacation.
I also followed through on my plan and tracked everything - that's how I know some of it is food. I was over my points a few days and activity probably didn't cover enough of it. But that's the bonus plus side - we had such gorgeous weather while we were there that I was very active. Did lots of walking around, and some hiking through a few nature preserves. Even walked over to the local farmer's market and found some really wonderful things there!
I had a great time, and I'm feeling good, despite the number on the scale. My initial reaction this morning was to not go, because I had seen at home just how ugly things looked. And I came very close to talking myself into not going. Then I took my big-girl pill and went anyway, and that's already helped me set the positive tone for this week!
There is no magic tool that will give you good shape once and for all. Each recommendation, diet, or workout has to be implemented regularly. Still, there are things which might help on your way. The number of tips I have learned at http://bit.ly/Qh9G8S helped me enhance my strength and intensify workouts without overeating. I am enjoying quicker results and the inprovements of my shape.
