Hi Everyone,

Missed all of you while I was gone on vacation in the Dominican Republic. I ate and drank too much which was to be expected, since I really need a fill, but was afraid to get one before I went away. I gained three pounds, but considering last year at this time when I went on vacation and gained 10 or so, I am feeling OK with this. I still hope to make -120 by my one year bandiversary next week, so for now, I am mostly on a liquid diet to get myself back on track. SOme of the things I learned while on vacation:

Tough meats do not go down even with less restriction! I had a barfing session one day at lunch while on monster safari.

When you drink less Water during the day, you have more restriction. (At least I found this to be so for me!)

Pina coladas go down very easy!

If you sit and graze long enough at buffets, you can eat a lot more in a hour than you can in 20 minutes at home.

I think I violated every bandster rule like drinking while I was eating and not stopping when I got the "full" signal etc. I was totally wicked, but now I am back on track!!!

My girlfriend and I go to Jamaica every year around this time. Alas I will not be joining her this trip. We are planning on going in Sept together.

I wanna go to Cancun or Belize next for a vacation. Would love to see some pics of your trip.

Hi Guys,

I took pics but havent had them developed yet. They are still in the ole camera. Once I get them developed, I will get my hubby to put them up on the internet. Give me a couple of days OK?
