Vacation of a Lifetime!
Mar 29, 2011
Hey everybody! Just got back from 9 days of vacation and I am TIRED!! But I had soo much fun! My husband & I took our girls (ages 12 & 13) on a cruise along with his parents. We flew from Wisconsin to Ft. Lauderdale, FL; then we got on the Carnival Freedom and sailed to Key West, FL, then Grand Cayman, then Ocho Rios, Jamaica, and then back to Ft. Lauderdale. It is truly a vacation we will remember forever. And thanks to WLS, I had more fun that I could imagine!The most challenging part of the vacation was eating. I don't usually eat bread or drink much pop, but I probably had more bread & pop this past week than I've had in months. It was tough because I had a really hard time getting in my proteins like usually do. But I made it with no problems and I had only gained about 2 lbs when I hopped on the scale when we got home. Not bad at all! I tried drinking (booze) a few times, but it always made me sick, so I just got to the point where I stuck to pop.
It was so much fun dressing up at night and I did not feel self-conscious at all running around in a swimming suit or a sundress!! You still won't catch me in a bikini - but that's ok! It was just so nice going to the different shops and seeing all the cute sundresses & clothes and knowing that I COULD wear them if I wanted to! It is still hard to get used to.
I'll post some pictures from the cruise later tonight.
