We had a great time on the cruise. It was very relaxing and HAL does a good job. Had a great time in Victoria and Butchart Gardens as well as Vancouver, where we walked and walked and walked. Definately got in my exercise. Took the horse drawn carriage ride through Stanley Park and even though it was a little cold, it was absolutely beautiful. We just loved strolling through several of the areas in Vancouver, such as Gastown and Granville Island. The airport was also such a breeze going through customs and immigration there for our return flight to the US.
Came back to a mess at the house since we had just moved prior to our vacation and we can't seem to find anything. It is really a pain. Worse yet, our son was in an accident while we were gone. He wasn't hurt thank goodness, but we found out just yesterday that the car was totalled, so we have that to deal with.
On the weight loss front, I actually gained a little while we were gone, but it is well within the normal fluxuation that I have been having. I am still six pounds below my goal weight. I thought losing the weight was going to be the hardest, but now I think it is going to be just maintaining the weight. However, I look at food completely differently now and fared pretty well on my food choices on the cruise, but just had a little too much of it. I learned that it can never again be, "well this won't hurt to eat this just this one time." I know how certain foods effect me, and have to treat those as if they are food allergies, which they really are. It just drives me to eat rather than making me break out in a rash.
