5 months out & a little vacation
5 months out & vacation was a breeze. Some of you know I don’t weight myself besides when I go to my doctor appointments. I weighed myself the day I arrived and the day I left. I was happy to say I lost 3 lbs. I brought my running shoes and I was able to get a run in every single day. A few days we got a bike ride in and I also kayaked one day & Paddle boarded another. Paddle boarding was on my bucket list and something I wanted to try! I felt great and I was happy that I finally got to do it!
I know some are in the mindset that they won’t vary from their eating plan while on vacation. I admire people that have that willpower, however that isn’t me! I pretty much stick to my eating plan 99% of the time and I think it okay to loosen the strings a little while vacationing. I was looking forward to three things, fried grouper, my Babcia’s Easter Lamb cake & Key Lime Pie. Most days I stayed true to plan and I was able to eat grilled fish or seafood. I gave into the three things I wanted and I enjoyed every bite. I’m happy to say that they didn’t trigger any other cravings or make me indulge in anything else.
Flying is amazing now! I have wiggle room in my seat now!! I’m the classic pear shape and carry my weight in my hips and backside and I still had wiggle room! It was nice to have slack on my seatbelt!
I love using this gift/tool. It has made a pretty good life sooooooo much better!! I love my sleeve!

Congratulations on your "wiggle room." Isn't it GREAT? Glad you gave yourself permission to enjoy your vacation, including your special treats. I do the same thing and I am still losing weight. Thanks for sharing your success with us.
