I just returned from a 3 week vacation to Hawaii -
One of my biggest fears of going on a 3 week vacation was gaining weight. I knew we would be eating out nearly EVERY meal. Not to mention the delicious Polynesian food they have there. I was scared. I didn't have access to any weights, a gym, and not a lot of time to exercise.
One of my biggest fears of going on a 3 week vacation was gaining weight. I knew we would be eating out nearly EVERY meal. Not to mention the delicious Polynesian food they have there. I was scared. I didn't have access to any weights, a gym, and not a lot of time to exercise.
We
had been there for 4 days when I found a scale to step up on. It said
215. I had gained 6 POUNDS in FOUR days. It killed me! I didn't think
I had done that bad, but apparently I was WRONG!
I
remember walking up to Cris and saying "I hope that scale is wrong
because it says I am up 5 pounds" and he looked at me and said "it's
actually right, it says the same weight for me as at home"
My
hopes of a miscalculated scale were OVER! I needed to change what I
was eating, how active I was, and what I was doing and I needed to
change it FAST!
I
started to eat only half the rice and meat that was served, drink LOTS
of water with each meal, and not snack as much on the beach. I decided I
would swim for 30 minutes while snorkeling each day. It wasn't much,
but it worked. Especially when there was rough water, HOLY ARM WORKOUT!
At
the end of the remaining 2 weeks I was back down to 211 and somehow by
the time Thursday morning came and I went to the gym, I had gotten back
down to 209, the exact weight I was when I left.
THANK GOODNESS!
Now,
I don't know so much about this birthday weekend for my Rysa girl and
the 120 cake bites we have in our home because a snow storm prevented
family from coming and having dinner with us!
