I made it back from vacation. I arrived home sometime around 1 am on Tuesday the 17th. I am only one day late from my projected blog date, by my standards that it pretty awesome!
I started back on Medifast yesterday, which was one hundred times easier than I ever imagined. All the foods I thought I was missing really weren’t as satisfying as I remembered. I ended up with quite a few tummy aches along the way. I only gained a little over a pound on vacation. I have no idea how that is even possible. I start my blog down 0.1 pounds from my last blog. Still making progress and that couldn’t make me happier.
Vacation was wonderful to say the very least. I started off to the Airport with the mindset that I would try and eat as healthy as I could that way I wouldn’t feel guilty about how much alcohol I was going to have. (Now there’s a 22 year olds plan in action!). By the first night I totally blew my plan out of the water. I had a breakfast sandwich from the Wendy’s at the airport (I felt guilty about it so I shared with my cousin and sister and ended up eating only the bottom half of the biscuit). We had pizza that night. After that I just decided I would eat what I wanted and just stop when I felt full. Let’s say I probably consumed more calories in liquor than food. I wasn’t the biggest fan of buffet style food and most of the time I felt sick to my stomach after eating. I always used the stairs no matter what, and damn did I dance my butt off. All in all after the first day I wasn’t so worried about gaining weight anymore. I just let my hair down and had some fun. I knew I had the capability to lose whatever I gained.
I found out that I can’t let my weight consume me. I think that will help me to lose more weight and stay at a healthy weight once I reach my goals. I found some confidence along this trip and think that will only improve my attitude about my weight loss goals. Hell, I am happy just the way I am right now. Anything else is just frosting on the figurative cake. I guess the message I am always trying to learn and put out there with my blog is: Love yourself no matter what. The rest will come in time. Be proud of who you are and if you want to make changes in your life, don’t be scared to!
Blogging onward next Monday at weigh in. Turns out I am still in fourth place without even weighing-in these past two weeks. Two more weigh-ins left to go. I had a favorite quote this week but didn’t write it down. I will be on the hunt and maybe edit to add it in later. Also, don't ask me where I get my titles from. haha. I just write my blog and title it last. This is for all you padawan learners out there.

Wish Me Luck and Lots Of Sun!
Date: 11-4-09
Starting Weight: 219.6
Current Weight: 185
Goal Weight: 175
Loss Since Last Weigh In: 2.5
Total Weight loss: 34.6
Pounds left to lose: 10
Can you say last minute update? I don’t even recognize myself right now! Like my mother I am a meticulous planner and claim the title of all star worry wart as well. I have less than 24 hours before I am in the car on the way to the airport. I’m not even packed yet.
I have a pretty decent to-do list and have eventually made my way down it this past week. I only have a few small things to pick up at the store, pack, and grab some shoes from my aunt’s house. I have felt the stress of leaving and not being prepared every now and then. Mostly I have vacation-itis.
As of tomorrow I will no longer be on Medifast for the twelve days I am gone. I have already put in my next order to be shipped and waiting for me when I get back. I have never been more dedicated to anything else in my life (other than relationships). I have refused to cheat time and time again even though I know deep down one little nibble here or there wouldn’t kill me, it’s just not how I have stuck through it this long. Why test the waters?
I am very nervous to say the least. It has been over two months of having a strict plan. A time schedule and specific items and how much I should be eating. I am only ten pounds away from my first goal weight and I still don’t feel confident in my ability to know how much to eat. I feel like a baby bird trying to fly for the first time. I plan on staying away from all sweets on this vacation (I don’t care for sweets very much). That is at least one step in the right direction. I also plan on swimming quite a bit and only taking the stairs, never the elevator. I don’t see myself going too overboard. I know how hard I have worked and seriously considered staying on Medifast during my vacation. After lots of thinking it over, I know this vacation is not the type of vacation I can do often. I need to enjoy it to the fullest while I am gone. Everything in life is better in moderation and I know that.
My biggest worries lie with being in situations where fast food is the only option available. I have planned to gain at least 5 pounds while I am gone. I know there will be plenty of drinking too, which is one of the biggest factors in my past weight gain. I will just try and use my best judgment and see where that gets me. Wish me luck and not too much to gain. I will do a trip update the first day I’m back. Should be around the 17th or 18th. Don’t miss me too much!
