Hi everyone, it will take me awhile to get caught up on everyone's news so before I do that wanted to say hi! Hope everyone had a great month, teehee had a bit of snow I hear...sorry...The vaca was great, reality sucks but ...
I did have some worries about how it all was going to work on an island with sketchy protein sources. We decided to pack some steaks and chicken, protein powder and bars and flew that all down in a rolling soft sided cooler. It worked perfectly, no trouble with that getting into the Bahamas, although I couldn't bring meat into the US...hmmm So had no issues with getting in enough protein. Ran /walked 2.5 miles every day but 2, biked 10 miles one day, kayaked, snorkled and just literally was more active than I have ever been-in YEARS! It was great!
Getting home, feeling fantastic and then I stepped on the scale...and had stayed the same...HOw in the world is that possible. I really am trying not to let that bug me, I feel great-that should be enough!!!But the darn number still took my breath away for a second. I have my one year coming up and really wanted to be at 100 # doesn't look like I am going to make that goal, and I thought for sure with all that activity, i would have lost. Oh well. I didn't gain!!! Last year I was on my pre surg losing 10% and lost 8 pounds on vacation there. Lots of veggie meals though, so that could be it, too, didn't dare to do that this year..focused on protein.
So, what did I miss? besides all of you??
Love,
Kate

Glad you are home and had a good time. We've missed you too! I think that traveling makes us retain water, you may drop a few pounds in the next few days, I wouldn't be surprised. Have fun catching up, there has been a lot going on!

sorry that scales did not move. But I know whenever I used to go on vacation it meant a weight gain. So staying the same is awesome!!! Sounds like you had a lot of fun. With all that activity you may have gained muscle and lost inches!!!!!

Sounds like you had a fun time! I wouldn't worry too much about being the same weight...you probably added some muscle with all that activity you were doing!!!!

Welcome home! Glad to hear you had a nice vacation!

Welcome Home, Kate!! Personally, I think that staying the same is awesome! Better than gaining! But I understand your wanting to get to 100 # (you lightweight!)

PS: we are all going bowling on Sunday, April 19th at Spare Time Bowling in Augusta, I hope that you can make it! It should be a blast!! We also had fun rollerskating last month and I have some pics on my profile for you to see.

Kathi G. I LOVE MY RNY!!
