This will be a short post. Just returned late Monday night from our 10-day Disney World adventure (which was amazing, BTW!) and have so many things to do here before returning to work and prepping for for the holidays.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I knew losing weight was going to be a challenge on vacation. But when I first got back and stood on the scale I wanted to cry because I was up about 5 pounds. However, I also woke up feeling so puffy and swollen, as I tend to retain a lot of water when traveling. So I decided to give it one day to flush out the access water. So yesterday I just went right back to counting calories, staying on plan, and drinking quite a bit of water. Must have gone to the bathroom every 30 minutes! By the end of the day I was feeling much better and WAY less puffy.
Did another weigh-in this morning to find that I went down 6 pounds. Whew! I knew it had to be all water. That’s the number I’m going to stick with for my combined weeks 3-4 post-vacay weigh-in.
The goal was to just lose something while on vacation and dining out every single day, and that’s what I did. I was hoping for a little more since according to my app I walked a whopping 61.09 miles over those 10 days (my poor sore feet!), but it’s all good.
And I really can’t complain. If you’ve ever vacationed in Disney World on the dining plan, you know that everything comes in HUGE portions and dessert with every meal! So, if I can lose a pound eating things like this, I’ll take it:
For this coming week? Back to counting calories and also feeling like it’s a good time to start incorporating some weight training. Nothing major, but I am going to put together a basic head-to-toe routine to do 2x a week and get started on that.
