I am back from my trip. With the exception of yesterday, I was totally on plan! I even managed to workout while I was gone. Yesterday couldn't be helped, we had delays in our trip and we had to eat out for every meal. I made choices for lunch that weren't the best--I was stressed, I knew it, and I said one meal won't hurt me--this is my freebie! I compensated at dinner, but I know it was full of salt! Anyway, with all of that said and done I showed a 2oz wt gain this morning. I am 99.9% sure it is all water gain due to the sodium intake of eating out. I think I may have actually lost wt while I was gone and it will show up in a couple of days.
I have also come to the conclusion that it's always something--a holiday, a vacation, etc! I'm glad I'm learning to navigate staying on plan because this is life--or at least it's my life!!!
That's awesome! A vacation is what I let derail me last year, so I know how hard it can be. It's so great that you really stuck with it, and probably have a loss to boot!
I feel ya on "having" to eat out. I took a trip 3hrs away today to my daughter's Children's hospital. On the way back her nurse and I were STARVING and the only thing available was fast food. At least I didn't go over 600cals for that one meal. lol
Way to go! Life does indeed go on - we can't be stuck in our cozy houses/apartments/dorms forever. In fact, I find that giving myself some lee way goes much better than starving my body, otherwise I end up feeling as if I have "blown it" for good and then might be prone to really going off plan -- but that's just me.
Thanks for all the kudo's! It really helped out that my MIL (we went to see them on this mini vacation) was trying to lose wt too.
And btw--that was my wt AFTER a big pee! Been drinking my water and worked out today so I'm hoping to see some changes at the end of the week when I usually weigh.
2oz!!!!
lol!!!!
