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.
