Hello everyone, I am back (well, if you still remember me that is).

I hope everyone is well and doing great, and to anyone who is new to the site - hi and welcome to the great community! I  went to the beautiful Britsh Columbia to visit family and catch a cruise to Alaska with my husband of 10 years to celebrate our anniversary.

 I brought a few extra pounds back from the cruise, of course (but hey, those cakes were delish!).  But I also swam, hiked (the hike to Mount Roberts above Juneau was particulary beautiful), excersised and it was tons of fun!

I’ll wait till my regular weigh-in day on Tuesday to register the exact surplus (~5 to 6 pounds), but I am starting to work on losing the pounds right away. My husband has the weigh-in on Saturday, so I will now how much he came up then.

The first order of the day is to restore 3 meals + 2 snacks ~1,500 cals eating plan and gradually get back to regular 1.5 to 2 hours activity a day.

And, I’ve got one of the best compliments on that cruise - my husband told me that my cooking (healthy and lean) can easily compare to what we were served on the cruise by the professional chefs. And that it’s definetly better than my mother’s and my mom in law’s. (Hey, I love them both, but it’s nice to hear, right?)

Lol, who wouldn’t run to restock the kitchen after such lovely encouragement and try yet another cool recipe from Eating Well or search library for an interesting cook book?

Hugs, and let’s keep cooking, excersising, having fun and being beautiful!
