Weigh in day 7/9/09 - I don't understand it, but I'm not complaining!

Somehow I lost 1.8 lbs... in a 2 week time period that encompassed a cruise, the 4th of July, and a binge at Chick Fil A. Cruises are known for their food, but during the cruise I felt like I was balancing the food with enough activity. For breakfast and lunch my friends and I went to a buffet where I tried to eat fruit and salads and took it easy on the desserts and fatty foods. For dinner every night we went to a nice restaurant on board - the kind of place where they pull out your chair and put your napkin on your lap, and the menu changes every night. Luckily the portion sizes were small/realistic, so I couldn't do too much damage. We had dessert every night but it was always smaller than a normal dessert, although very very delicious. Most days we only ate 3 times a day, and throughout the day we would do activities like jet-skiing, swimming, or walking around a town. At nights we went to bars, the casino, and the dance club. I swear, I must have burned 10,000 calories at that dance club. One night we danced for what seemed like 2 hours (and probably was!) So I thought I just might lose weight over the cruise, or at least maintain. Then I got back a day before the 4th of July. For the 4th of July we went to a celebration at my aunt and uncle's lake house. We cooked out, then made ice cream sundaes. I also made Baily's floats - Baily's and icecream, mmmm! I thought that that might undo any weight loss I might have achieved. Finally, the night before last, my boyfriend and I went to chick fil a. It took me a few days to get back on plan because I kept craving sweet things, so at this point I was not exactly disciplined. I got an original chicken sandwich and we shared waffle fries, chicken nuggets, and a cookies and cream milkshake. So, after all that I was dreading weighing in today. But, lo and behold, I'm at 188! I was so afraid I would be back in the 190's, which was going to be really discouraging. Now I feel reeeally motivated - 3 lbs to go till my next goal!
