Checking in week 3

I have continued to keep my calorie intake between 1200-1500 each day. I consistently walk 5+ miles every day- often going 6 miles.

The out come, in the last three weeks is that I have lost 7 pounds!

I'm hoping to loose another 3 this coming week to have 10 pounds off.  This is my first goal. My next goal will be to keep the weight off, and LOOSE while I'm on vacation in two weeks.

This will be a huge challenge for me. I'm going to Florida and from there connecting with a cruise ship. For those of you who have not  had the chance to cruise, food is EVERYWHERE.  It's available 24 hours each and every day.  And it's including in the package so you could do non-stop eating.

Hummmm.  I LOVE to eat-which is why I'm at the weight I'm at. This could prove to be very problematic for me.  Since I'm going to South and Central America, I intend on trying the local foods too.  OK, I admit it. I'm a foodie, big time.

So, I need to do some pre-planning on how to handle being surrounded with food, keep up my walking and at the very least maintain the weight loss I've worked hard to get.

Some ideas I have is to continue to log my food, although I won't be able to upload anything. It will be the old fashioned way with paper and pen.  I can still monitor my steps, just have to write down how many at the end of the day so I don't loose the information.

Beyond that, I have no idea.  I'm open to suggestions!  I don't want to feel deprived, it is after all a vacation, but I certainly don't want to go backwards.
