Hi, all! I am on vacation and taking a cruise. Everyone knows that cruising is the worst way to try to stay on your healthy lifestyle plan. So here is what I am doing to try to avoid gaining back half of the 18 pounds I have lost.

A good breakfast is the best way to start the day but how to avoid all those tasty pastries and breakfast meats?! Order room service!! Each morning I order only what I actually want to eat. So far it has been eggs, one piece of bacon, toast, and tea. Since my at-home breakfast would never include that piece of bacon I feel like I am treating myself.

For lunch my go-t0s are fish and vegetables. Here is a picture of my lunch today. Vegetables only! It is true that some are tempura fried but this is so much better than a greasy hamburger and French fries!

Vegetables galore! Eggplant, zucchini, tomatoes, onions, cauliflower, tomatoes, beans, sunflower seeds and more!

For dinner I stayed on my plan accidentally! I ordered the Destination Menu. It is supposed to be local cuisine. So I ordered Hainanese chicken. It turned out to be a poached chicken breast with a little rice and cucumber. It tasted the way it looks! Bland and dry. But definitely a spa type dinner.

When you are on vacation don’t just decide it is too hard to eat properly. Adopt some losing strategies!
