No more vacations
Its amazing how easy it is to fall off the wagon. I went to my parents house in north central Missouri for 4 days and had a wonderful time -- too wonderful. Aside from mom's home cooked meals, I had 2 different types of wonderful cookies that various aunts made, cherry pie, and birthday cake and icecream. When I got home Monday night, the scale said 190. Luckily, it was night, I was partially dressed, and surely had retained some water during the 10 hour drive. I ended up with a 1.6 pound surplus but have already lost the 0.6 part. Sent an email to mom that said "Had a great time, gained 5 pounds, never coming back again" but of course that was a lie. :-) So back to the grindstone - working constantly, dieting, and water aerobics 3 times a week - and hopefully to lose that pound and 25 more. Wish me luck!
