Had a mini get-a-way

[JudyNY]

We took a mini vacation to Pennsylvania Dutch Country and I'm afraid to get on the scale! Ok, just did and I am up 3 lbs. Could have been worse as I haven't been eating well. So I know what I have to do to get myself back on track. It is so easy to slip out of good habits and slide back into old.

Anyway, we had a good time. Went to the very historic town of Strasburg. My husband is a railroad buff and that is an old railroad town. They had refurbished an old steam train and had excursions - with wine and cheese! Yes, I did have some wine and did get a little buzzed. While I have had wine in the past post-surgery, this was probably more than I had before in a short period of time. We also took an Amish buggy ride and visited a farm. That was so easy for me being 130 lbs lighter. Before I would have had a hard time or maybe not even been able to climb into the buggy!

So I hope all has been well here in our support group family. I will be catching up later today on the posts.

I was just wondering where you were. Glad to see you were just enjoying a get away. Sounds like fun.

It’s nice to get away! 3lbs isn’t a big deal in the grand scheme of things. Glad you enjoyed yourself!

Wonderful to have a getaway! Sounds like it was a super fun road trip. Hope you are relaxed and refreshed.
3lbs is nuthin! That will go quickly when you get back in your routine.
Welcome back, missed seeing you in the group.

Sounds like you had a great time and I’m sure you’ll get right back on track

Thanks everyone! I've missed you all. Finally have a little time to myself. Just took my granddaughter back to her mom's. Fingers crossed that everything stays quiet. 13 year olds and their mom's don't always get along well, so we shall see.

Oh Judy you made me so nostalgic for Lancaster County. I lived there for 15+ years when I went to college & stayed til I moved back to WV in the late 90s. It's such a beautiful place. The Strasburg RR is a gem. Amish Country in the summer is so beautiful . Sometimes the Amish would go shopping in town & hitch their buggies up in the parking lot. So glad you had a good time there! Glad you're back safe & sound.

What a great place to live. We haven't been there in over 20 years and it sure has built up since then. But the farmland area is still the same, so peaceful and beautiful!

Getaways so cool. My pool is my get away. Even if it is only for an hour or two. Three pounds well body can not say starvation time. You are a good sport and you deserve to have fun. Don’t beat yourself up. Tomorrow is another day.

Thanks! No, I'm not beating myself up over it. I'm glad it wasn't worse than it was although I did get on the scale again today and was up another 2 pounds. I'm back on track now but won't weigh myself until next week to give it a chance to come back down.

I would take 3 pounds. Every weekend I jump 3-5 and then during the week I drop back down. Doesnt tale much for water weight to impact the scale either.

Sounds like a great little trip Judy!
