Kittycat Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hi there, we are back from the cottage, the weather so sucked, rained everyday, we did get a little sun and we took full advantage of it and basked in the sun and pool. I am happy to be home, missed my kitty Cassie and my own bed. I have mountains of laundry waiting. I haven't hit the scale yet, but I ate well and avoided the junk. It was actually nice not living day to day thinking of the band, I ate as directed and lived my life and it was good!! Glad to be back <' /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

julieburns Posted August 16, 2008 Report Share Posted August 16, 2008 Welcome back Kathy, I missed you. You make the eating while on vacation sound like a breeze. I go in 2 weeks with my in-laws and brother and sister in law and my neices to Lake P something in northern Idaho. We are meeting there from 3 diffeent states. My in laws are from Houston, brother and sister in law Salt Lake City and then us from Portland. Can't wait. I have already worried a little about how I wil be eating so little in from of them, and so picky with what I do choose. They will be very happy to see I have lost weight though. I havn't seen my in laws since last summer at my all time highest weight so this will be fun in that respect. I also LOVE them all dearly and feel as if God sent me my mother in law to help replace the loss of my own mom somehow. She is an angel to me. Anyway back to your return home, I hate when I get home and have the laundry and unpacking to do. I usually put it off as long as possible and then work like a mad women to get it done. Here's a big hug to welcome you back safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We ate very well, I love barbequed steak and burgers. I had a few treats, but stayed away from the chips and junk food. If I wanted to snack and I brought salsa and multi grain tostitos. Eating when you travel is harder...restaurants are known for fast food and grease which makes it more difficult. We ate out once, at Red Lobster and I had steak and shrimp, it was yummy. But I know from that meal alone that I need another fill. I ate about 4 oz of steak, 6 shrimp, 5 bites of ceasar salad and most of a baked potato and I was not feeling restriction at all...I will give my surgeon a call on Monday. Have a great weekend!

We are going to be camping and we are planning on making our own meals most of the time. Yes this will be my saving grace. I will take "my" snacks for sure so I don't feel left out. The good thing is they are all quite healthy eaters, especially my MIL who is beautifully thin but works at it every single day. My SIL is also not overweight nor anyone really but me. I want to feel like i "fit in" and can do the physical activities they all can do. I know I'll do ok this trip but by our annual trip next year I should be smoking them on the trails!! I also can't wait to run and play with my darling nieces ages 5 and 9. Thanks for the tips. I will need a fill when I get back also. I sort of need one now but can't get it before we go and sort of don't want to because of what new restriction did to me last time. I plan on getting one in 1 month, which seems like a long time away but it will be here in no time. I do still have pretty good restriction but I can tell it is slowly going away a little at a time.
