We had the best holiday ever, partly due to the fact I have lost 50kg.s I would have wanted to stay home if I was still fat but our holiday was so good we ended up staying a week longer. We started offf having Xmas at Lake Hayes with our parents then went to the Arrowtown camping ground on the 28th Dec. Xmas day I ate more than intended (and I used a side plate instead of a big plate) and before we left Invercargill I made sure I done 1/2 an hour on my Cross Trainer. I made my annual Chocolate & Strawberry Cheesecake and made it low fat, and it tasted just the same. It was devine!! Next day I was intending to do a 1/2 hour walk which turned into 1 1/2 hours and with hills in as well. So, I thought to myself If I am doing walks like that I may as well start counting and tracking. So I wrote everything down for a couple of days but then just done it in my head (which was a bad call). After being away for 18 days I had a gain of 1.3 and I thought I wasn't being too bad. It just goes to show it pay's to write everything down. When I looked back and checked my bank accounts we dined out 7 times and sometimes I thought I was making good choices but a couple of times I could taste the extra fat in my food. But we had a good time and I done thing's I wouldn't have done last year, like swimming in the lake, going out on the boat and alot of walking. I can't believe I was going out of way to exercise while on holiday. There was only 4 days out of 18 I didn't exercise but when you do things with the kids you are getting exercise in anyway. Most times I was up early and had my walks out of the way before everyone else was up.

I can soooo relate to U wanting to stay home in the past Carmen, cause of your weight - OMG - how it restricted us . . . yesterday I booked a 2 wk hol for us as a family - me, hubby, DD & 2 small grandsons - unfort. my son can't come as he is changing jobs - but losing the weight certainly makes us "more out there" . . . doing things we wouldn't have dreamed of before - Woohoo - look at your ticker tracker at the top - looking good !!! . . . U must feel so much fitter, active, healthier & happier - congrats managing your holiday like U did & well done on your journey so far Carmen - what an inspiration U R to us all . .
