Lose weight the fun way.

I’m slightly obsessive and usually weigh every day, sometimes multiple times a day. I left Sunday on a cruise. I get home next Sunday. I’m trying not to freak out that not only do I not control my food (I do control my choices) I also don’t have a scale. I did think about bringing one but I figured I wouldn’t have good readings on a ship out to sea. I’m fantasizing that when I get home, I not only didn’t gain but I lost 3 pounds and went to the next decade. I know I’m dreaming. I know when I get home I’ll have a harsh wake up. But I’m walking several miles a day, I’m not finishing my meals, I’m drinking my water. Maybe I’ll get lucky. (But I did have a soft serve small ice cream cone at lunch after I had my slice of pork roast, salad and half a chicken breast.

One can only hope. I’m hopeful that since I’m not flying (port is an hour from my house for this cruise - Baltimore) that I won’t have crazy water weight. I guess I’ll find out Monday morning where things stand. We are on our way to half moon cay and a day at the beach now. Im ready to start heading home tomorrow. I miss my routine and my family. This was a girls trip.

That sounds so fun! I went on a week vacation last month and was so worried. We were very active walking and snorkeling every day, and I did my best food wise (for the most part). I maintained, which I considered a win! You've got this and if the scale doesn't say what you hope, it's all about what you do next. It sounds like no matter what, you'll be back on track which is the real win! ?
