Its not the jeans that make me look fat — its the FAT!!!

I haven’t been ignoring my blog just busy vacationing and this was the first time since I can remember I had no access to a computer.  It was quite nice actually — I know I would have been obsessing with my visits to all my friends trying to catch up.  The only thing I missed was being able to log my calories.  I was good for the first few days mentally adding them up and as my sweetie was recording our $$ spent I had him record my calories I consumed.  Most days seemed to be around the 2200 mark which is no good whatsoever for losing weight but with all the extra walking (although I am NOT sendentary at work) I figured I might have stayed even.  See if I am brave enough to jump on the scale tomorrow before my exercise class.

 One thing I did that I am proud of is I decided as we spent our first night on the Oregon Coast that I wanted to get a kite and fly one.  Nothing expensive or fancy just something that would make me feel like a kid again– I found a perfect one that was the colour of a rainbow and I had fun — lots of serene fabulous fun and its true acting like a kid again takes a bit of effort and moving around.  Not sure how many calories you burn flying a kite but the other benefits are invaluable.

I did suffer a bit from not eating on plan — I am learning (however slowly) that eating right not only helps me in my quest to fit into smaller sized clothes it helps my system maintain a healthy attitude.  And when my system has a healthy attitude I am a much happier person LOL.  Sugar and extra carbs are not good — more fresh and whole food is what I need.  As much as I dislike cooking and planning meals I really do need to vacation with a kitchen — depending on restaurants 24/7 is just too tough for my lifestyle.  Oh well back home now — no vacations (time away from home) planned until Oct and that will only be for three days — spent at a healthy (I hope) upscale resort.
