Weight Watcher on Vacation

While on vacation, I was flooded with so many positive moments.  I felt great in my bathing suit.  I'm not saying I look like a supermodel, I just felt really comfortable.   Making sand castles, running after the kids, swimming.  I was not spending any time wondering if I should get my cover up on or just about my appearance in general, I felt so healthy it superseded everything else.

This was my last couple of weeks of WW maintenance.  Since I couldn't go to my regular meeting I went to the nearest WW office which happens to be the one my MIL goes to.  Very interesting hearing a new leader and being in a new group of people to discuss eating, etc.  Still love my leader Linda the most!  The first Wednesday I was up 1.8 lbs, which made me exactly 155 lbs, aka my WW goal weight.  I was fine BUT thinking this is going to be a real nail biter!!  I still had one more full week of vacation before the final weight in to becoming a lifetime member.  One full week of ice cream on the boardwalk, bagel breakfasts galore and lots of eating out with children who always order french fries but don't finish them.  Ugh!  I was pretty good though and the ability to go on a morning run nearly every morning helped tremendously.  I showed up for last week's weigh in wearing only a dress/beach cover up (my lightest outfit) and I was down 0.8 lbs!!  154.2 lbs makes me a LIFE TIME member!!!!

It was a little anti climactic since I was not at my regular meeting.  The computer did not reflect my status as maintenance complete for some unknown reason so it was like they had to take my word for it.  They asked if I wanted to celebrate today and I said no.  I would prefer to "celebrate" with my regular meeting.  Part of me was thinking it would keep me on the straight and narrow for the rest of vacation, knowing I had to again make goal to celebrate at my regular meeting.  Now I'm home and eating horrible.  Remember that bag of chocolate chips that I finally got rid of a few weeks ago?  I bought it during a "2 for" sale and now the second bag has opened!
