Howdy! I spent last week in Nags Head, NC with my parents, adopted sister (house #1), brother, SIL, 6 nieces/nephews (house #2), and another group of 8 that included 3 children under the age of 2 (house #3). As you are reading this post, I'm sure that you are re-reading the title of this post to verify that I did, indeed, have a great vacation. :yikes:

We went dolphin watching, climbed a lighthouse, shopped, swam, dined out, etc., etc. Even though the temps were at least 92 degrees or higher with a heat index of 105+ everyday, I was able to keep up without any problems! I actually was not the largest person on the beach (or even in my group). It was a great feeling looking at the pics of my vacation and not being completely disgusted with my appearance.

PS~ I even lost 3 pounds while on my trip.

I actually had to reread the top to be sure I hadn't written it. I was in the outer banks first of June and I must say it is my fav place. I too was not as worried about how I looked and it was great to have clothes I can breathe in. I lost 3 pounds on vac. Had a fill the week I got back and haven't lost anything else. Glad your vacation was a sucess.

Congrats to both of you. I love the Outer Banks. I haven't been there is a few years, but it was a wonderful place to go with extended family. There is something for everyone there.

I don't go on vacation until the end of July. We're headed to Cape Cod this year, but I hope I can write the same post when we get back.

I just got back from clubmed. They have breakfast, lunch and dinner buffets. My portions were a little large, but ate the right things. Higher in fat then I usually eat, but all lowcarb. I gained 1 pound (hopefully water retention). I was very proud of myself for resisting the bread, rice and desserts.
