Vacation eating has ended

I weighed in this morning to find I had gained 2.9 lbs on my vacation. All in all, I can live with that.  The cruise eating was very easy. The formal dining room is served to you in perfect portions. I at dessert every night. When eating at the buffets, I made sure to have a fruit or a vegetable with my meal. The thing is the walking. you have to walk everywhere  I took stairs more often than I normally would because the elevators were a bit slow. There was also no pantry to browse through. I truly only ate when I was hungry.

Then came Disney World. The food is not only over priced, but over portioned! There were several times we ate at a buffet that I had more than I should eat, including extra dessert. We did a lot more walking there though.What most likely did me in were those times when I was alone that I got a sweet treat. I also bought a lot of chocolate in different countries in Epcot.

I had my last fattening dessert out tonight at Red Robin for my son's birthday. My older son and I shared a brownie sundae. Tomorrow points start again. I also need to keep up the exercise. I walked quite a bit during my vacation and I don't want to lose that momentum. I didn't walk today, however I did shovel what felt like 200 lbs of slushy, wet, heavy snow.

Tomorrow I am going to look into a couch to 5K type of program. I have no interest in running, too many parts of my body jiggle when I run, but I would like to increase my activity and stamina.
