Back from camping!

Welcome back! Anyone who gained less than a pound on vacation shouldn't
be
one bit discouraged. If your sodium levels were higher you might see a
slight loss in the next few days.

I think the water weight is already starting to come off. It's good to be
back into my old routines again!

I'm back from camping, and it was a fun trip.

I did gain a little less than a pound but I'm not discouraged. I got in
a
lot of walking, I bought a pedometer and averaged over 10,000 steps a
day.
A lot of those were up and down hill, and at the 8,000 foot level.

Last time I was camping was 70+ pounds ago, and there is a big
difference
in
a lot of things. For one, it used to be difficult for me to get dressed
inside the tent and make my way out the door. It's no problem now. I
also
used to "run hot" and be overheated all the time, even to the point
where
I
would steam up the car's windows in the mornings (and not from passion).
Not anymore.

I kept to my prepackaged meals, but next time I'll include fresh veggies
and
some milk servings. I also think the sodium levels in my choices were
way
higher than what I'm used to.

Anyway, it's good to be back.

This reminds me of something I've been observing this summer. I
always used to really hate the heat. (And in Virginia, there's plenty
of it. It gets up to around 90 almost every day :-).) I could never
have imagined taking long noonday walks in the summer months. Now I
actually enjoy the feel of the sun on my body, and don't mind walking
in the heat. I am really liking summer for the first time since I can
remember!

I noticed that, too! I couldn't believe myself, actually picking out a
sunny spot to sit and soak up the sun a few weeks back. I've never done
that before.

Being from Texas all my life we fight the heat constantly, but since my
weight loss (about 90 lbs give or take a few) since just last summer, I
realize I am handling the heat FAR better than I ever have. I really
enjoy getting outside these days.

Yes, amazing, isn't it? The weight crept up on me so insidiously that I was
unaware of just how debilitating it was. I'm a little over 85 pounds down
from my highest, as well. It sure is nice to be able to get out and enjoy
life again!
