I had a very enjoyable vacation with friends, including my husband and I, there were 3 couples. We shared a 3 bedroom condo at Disneyworld. Walt Disney World was celebrating with the International Food and Wine Fest. We ate our way through 29 countries and it was fantastic. I want to make note you will not see an update on our loss log. The reason for no update is this: when coming back from any vacation do not get on the scale to see a disappointment. It will be disappointing. First of all there will be a water weight gain, especially if there was flying involved. On vacation, people as a rule tend to get more dehydrated. We simply forget to drink the water we need. Secondly, when eating out more than you are used to, combined with not being able to control what goes into each dish (and we had many) especially with salts, which also helps the body in retaining water and thus, converts to more weight gain. And finally, typically you go off your routine, not only in eating but also in exercising. So I believe, the moment you get back home, get back into your normal routine which includes water intake. Wait a week, then weigh yourself, you still may be up a bit, but at least you won’t have that heart attack sensation, I normally get when stepping on the scale the moment I put my suitcases down. Vacations are a great way to connect with friends. You are out of your every day routine life. You experience new things together and gain insight from other views. It was a wonderful experience. Vacations are also a great way to meet new people. You never know the person you are standing in line with could live only 2 hours away and you obviously have some similarities if you are waiting in line to experience whatever attraction it may be. In my case, I met a new friend who was traveling from Germany in a line to get Korean food. We sat and shared a meal together exchanged emails and had a wonderful conversation. I know it enriched my life and I am sure this is just a start of a good friendship. Next time, however, I will need to schedule a few days off before going back to work and rest from such a fun filled (read tiring) vacation. I have updated Beauty, Recipes and Fashion pages, so take a look and let me know what you think. In the fashion page I have included the Wrap Dress. This has been (or should be) a staple in every woman’s closet since Princess Diane von Furstenberg first introduced it in 1973. Yes, she truly was a Princess, but since her divorce can no longer use that title. She obviously knows how to dress a woman. The wrap dress looks sensational on EVERY body type. I show 2 on the Fashion page. I own 3 different ones myself that I wear quite a bit.
I am happy the change of seasons has come upon us and now I can change my wardrobe accordingly.
As always,
Breathe Chic
