What?!?!

As I said in my last post I went on vacation last week. We went to Vancouver, BC...well actually a town outside of it, Gibsons. It was a ferry ride over. It was AMAZING! The town was gorgeous, the house we stayed in was right on the water and the whole area is filled with greenery. I wasn't going to be able to track because of internet access. I didn't really want to track that much anyways but was still afraid of gaining too much weight. I figured I would gain since I wasn't tracking. I had my fitbit so I knew how many steps I'd been taking so I had that to help.

My average steps per day were about 4000-5000. Not great, but those steps where stairs and hills. Our house had probably 20 stairs. So we used this going up and down eat day several times per day. Sometimes carrying E and sometimes not. We walked a lot around the town after parking. I know that helped keep the weight off. I did not watch what I ate. I even had gelato one day! We went to Vancouver the last day of our trip. We walked 14,000!!! steps that day! I was feeling fat that night. Even though I ate whatever, I still was silently freaking out over the potential weight I had gained. I thought for sure I had gained at least 2lbs.

Since we were flying home yesterday I decided to start tracking again. I ate fairly well but only went over my points by 2.

So it all comes down to this morning when I went to weigh myself. I was prepared for the 150's. When I left I was 147.6 on my scale. Last Tuesday the day before vacation I was 148.2. I get up, pee, then get on the scale........148.6! WTH!!! I got off, got on again. 148.6. I was so happy. In hindsight the feeling fat was bloat, I guess. I was so happy. I am so happy. I don't have to walk my butt off this week to lose more weight. Yipee!

Now that it's hot sooner, I am going to have to walk sooner. I can't today because E went to sleep last night at 10:30pm! She is still asleep at 8:15. I will resume that tomorrow. :)
