Post-Vacation Weight Gain
Happy New Year! We arrived home from our holiday vacation in California late Saturday night and I have to admit I was very anxious to have the morning arrive so I could weigh myself and see how well/bad I did while in California with my eating. I think it is always hard no matter what when you are on vacation because no matter how much you try you end up going out to eat and hanging out with friends at restaurants and of course it’s hard to count calories and monitor exactly what you are taking in.
I was happy to discover though that I only gained 3.5 pounds….so that was awesome. Easy to lose and I was proud of myself….I knew I didn't do great, but I did try hard to select low fat options when going out to eat and tried to have healthy snacks too. It’s so rough and I must admit that having over a month off from working out was GREAT. I really don’t miss it and would like to not do it at all...but I also know it’s good for me and I need to get back into the swing of it. I start on Wednesday and still need to figure out exactly what type of workout my partner and I will be doing. Can’t go outside and ride bikes yet...so something needs to be planned since the treadmills are gone...mine back at my parents house and hers broke.
Still putting lotion and creams on my scars regularly….it seems to be helping my scars more and I love how it smells anyway. Still praying about my chest and that those scars continue to heal and that my left breast would continue to shape itself the same as the other one. I know it’s not a big deal that they both look EXACTLY the same...but it would be nice. I pray for acceptance on my part as well though and know that I am so fortunate just to have a chest that I like and that is full and perky….unlike what I had after all the weight loss...which was a bunch of flat nothingness. lol Anyway...that is the post-vacation update! Welcome to 2015!
