These two pictures tell me so much more than just a number on the scale. ❤️
The first picture was taken when I was carrying more weight. The second was taken on my Alaska cruise — after losing weight and while simply LIVING MY LIFE.
And that second part is important to me.
I didn’t go on a cruise and eat perfectly. I enjoyed some wonderful meals. I did drink. 🥂 I had an occasional dessert when I wanted it. I was on vacation, and I wanted to enjoy it!
But I also tried to make good choices most of the time. I watched my portions. I didn’t eat just because food was available. I walked whenever I could and took the stairs instead of the elevator when it made sense.
Was I perfect? Absolutely not.
But I came home knowing I had enjoyed my vacation without throwing everything I’d worked for out the window.
I’m learning that maintaining a healthy weight doesn’t have to mean missing out on LIFE.
It means finding a balance that you can actually live with — at home, at a restaurant, and yes…even on a cruise ship in Alaska! 🏔️🚢❤️
Progress, not perfection. And now that Im back home, I have more goals to achieve. 😊
