It’s a good thing I’m going home

This was such a great vacation and I’m sad and happy it’s over. I need to get back to my own home and routine. I just wish my home were here in NJ not 3000 miles away from my best friend and family.

I did well on my diet 90 percent of the time. Near the end, as I was getting a little bummed about it all coming to an end, I ate a bit more. I didn’t go too nuts but I would indulge more as we went out to eat and I didn’t exercise regularly.

I don’t feel too bad. That’s what vacations are about. If I were at my goal weight of 130 or so this wouldn’t even faze me. But I’m not there and I look forward to a loss each week, so I’m eager to get back on track.

I’m happy I didn’t get too 'off track' and know I’m not going to have any trouble when I get back home. I don’t feel discouraged by any of my food indiscretions that would lead me down a path of diet destruction. I didn’t unleash an insatiable hunger that would keep me eating this way. That’s a first for me and that’s a great sign.

I really enjoyed the positive attention and feedback I got from everyone seeing me for the first time since I lost all the weight. I can’t wait to knock their socks off again with another big chunk of loss in a couple of months when I hope to visit again. (Make that, another loss of chunk.)

Tomorrow we fly back to California. (Uhhgg, I dread flying.) I want to sift through our pictures and hope to find some of me in my bathing suit and I’m due to post my progress pictures. I have to get this site back in order. I’ll weigh in on Tuesday morning and pick up where I left off. :-)
