Cruise - Shmuise.

So, I weighed myself just before I left on Saturday morning... I had lost the one pound I gained the week before.  Yay.
While I was on the cruise and exploring - I ate anything and everything.  I packed my workout clothes and never once placed them on my body.  They returned home exactly as packed!!  The ship had 15 floors... I climbed them when I felt like it and took the elevator when I didn't feel like it.  We did a lot of walking at the ports.  But I really didn't worry about this "diet" like I thought I would.  Lucky for me the food on the ship was more about "quantity" than "quality" - so I wasn't super excited about any of it.  It's kind of like Chuck-A-Rama.  There is always something to get full on... but it wasn't like the best food on earth.  I don't know if that makes any sense.
My friend has lost around 25 pounds since November - and she watched what she ate, exercised several times - she made the mistake of weighing herself on the ship - she had gained 8 pounds.  That scared the crap out of me... but, I put it out of my head and went out dancing.
When I arrived home late Saturday night I was up around 2 pounds.  I figured a nice bowel movement and Fast Sunday would fix that...  I was right.  This morning for my official weigh-in, I weighed the same as the Saturday we left.  So, for two weeks... I'm actually down a pound.
I still have 4 more to get to 25 pounds.  We only have FOUR weeks to go.  At that point, I'm going to throw out my scale.  I think I'll still continue to go to the gym and watch what I eat... forever, but I can't count on a certain number on the scale to make me happy.  I was happy before we started.  I think I am the type to obsess about it.  So, I will concentrate on being 'healthy'.
I do agree with Lynette - boys lose weight much easier than girls, and sadly, it's so very easy to put it back on. 
Good luck next week ladies!!
