If I ever get the chance to be on a plane I'll just pretend I'm sleeping when they come around

Oh definitely! We experienced it in our plane trips too.
We got fed and asked for food lots of times and when I said 'no' when they wanted to serve food late at night (after we already had dinner at the airport lounge), they were so surprised. Should have seen the look on their faces haha!
Thanks for the response on the treadmill desk. I start back at work on Monday so I'll see how long I can last with using the desk.0 -
I'll take a pic of my treadmill tomorrow and share. Beignets in New Orleans
at least with OMAD you can enjoy em 
I got in the habit of bringing snacks on the plane so....that's not good. Haven't flown in almost a year. Good that you aren't just eating out of boredom. Good luck on your trip...you're a pro at traveling so I know you'll do great. 0 -

Well I’m back! What an exhausting trip.... Hardly got to see any of New Orleans, at least not in daylight hours. Our hotel was in the French quarter so we did go out every night after work. Saw a parade and live music on Frenchman Street. New Orleans isn’t a great city for vegetarians, though we did manage to go to 2 restaurants which were predominantly vegetarian, but the regular restaurants were harder. I had a fair few meals where I was disappointed, and I do like my one meal to be awesome! Didn’t have a beignet - totally not my kind of food - wasn’t even tempted! Did have my fair share of alcoholic Slurpees though. Quite partial to the sour apple one! Most of the others were much too sweet.
Didn’t eat on the plane, didn’t eat in the day. Started eating at dinner and most nights had booze and snacks until late. Got home on Sunday and did have both breakfast and dinner and a lot of junk in the afternoon. I’m blaming that on the jet lag!! Pretty much back to normal yesterday, though I didn’t walk on my treadmill or use my bike. I walked the dogs at least. Meal yesterday was too long and too large but I was hungry and tired.
Was going to wait to weigh until the end of the week but my curiosity got the better of me this morning. Not too bad, did gain a bit - 0.6 lb. I consider this maintaining, so I’m pretty happy!! Though really my last lowest weight was 164.1 which jumped up 2lbs to 166.1 right before I left, so maybe it’s really a 2 lb gain. Still, not the end of the world seeing as I used to gain between 5 and 7 lbs at these conferences before OMAD...
Now to get that trend line going down again and the rest of this weigh off by June when I turn 50...

Thanks! I was so close to the 150s though and then the holiday happened... Ugh. But I’m not really complaining! I can fit into most of my “skinny” clothes now, so all good!mistymeadows2005 wrote: »WELCOME BACK!!!!!!! All those 160's numbers are CALLING TO ME!!!! SO JEAL!

So I guess I wasn't as over my jet lag as I thought I was yesterday. I was super hungry - started eating at about 3:30pm. I ate way too much (mostly delicious bread and peanut butter) and then went to bed at about 6pm and slept for close to 10 hours (6 hours is about how much I usually manage)...
I feel pretty good today though. Walked on my treadmill for my meetings this morning, walked the dogs and just did 24 minutes on the bike. There are people in my company who are kicking my butt in our activity/step challenge which doesn't make me happy! I need to get moving and get into first place! Third place definitely isn't good enough.

I'm getting there!
I guess the exercise helped with my weight too, hopefully this is the start of it dropping again:

Welcome back from New Orleans and a good start with the treadmill and loss.
I’ve found that I can’t use the treadmill for anything other than leisure (and very light work). I need to sit at a desk for actual work do there goes my plan of walking many kms through the day!0 -

Thanks!
I'm "lucky" (in quotes because meetings aren't really my favourite thing!) because I spend a few hours in meetings every morning (in one now, clearly it's scintillating) and meetings are perfect for treadmill walking... Though sometimes I turn up the treadmill too high and start panting a bit when I'm talking - that's definitely not a good look!0 -
Here's to hoping my weight is finally on a downward trend again...
I think I have to admit that I can't lose weight on OMAD if I'm eating to satiety unless I'm exercising.
My weight starting to creep up coincided almost exactly with the time Darcy had off work over the holidays and when we got REALLY lazy with exercise. Part of it was that it was too hot to go outside and part of if was pure holiday laziness! I even got lazy about using my treadmill when I was working.
This week I'm back doing what I was doing before the holidays, exercise-wise, and what do ya know, I'm losing weight again...
It's pretty obvious really, a few hundred calories used in exercise a day adds up over a week for sure. Doh!
Like yesterday my Garmin figures I expended 3022 calories over the whole day and there is no way I ate that much - even though I had Mexican plus ice cream.
I have to say though, my poor old arthritic hip is killing me from trying to keep up with the 20 somethings in my company with this activity thing... Don't care, need to be number 1 again!

Thanks everybody!
Once again work has ramped up to a crazy stressful level and I haven't even had a chance to login here... Ugh. I also haven't weighed yet today, will try to get to that in the next couple of hours. Though I did make sure to take the dogs for their walk this morning, priorities! It has also got super hot and humid here, which sucks!
On a totally random note, here are a couple of pictures of a super cute little wallaby who came hopping into the beachside bar on South Stradbroke Island that we jet skiied to on Sunday:

It WAS tough on Sunday when we were at that bar. I had beer and a salad there and then it was most definitely a 2MAD! A planned 2MAD though, I know when we go out on the bay with these friends there is no way I'm getting away with not drinking and eating... It's just a fact!0 -

TRUE DAT - and ya know what? It's not going to derail you - the beauty of our beloved OMAD :-D1 -
For some reason I'm having a hard time getting back into the daily weighing habit. I know this is not a good thing for me... Part of the reason is that the upstairs of the house is as hot as hell right now and I never feel up to venturing up there until after I've eaten at night and there's no way I'm weighing then!
Anyway, today was probably a really bad day to remember to weigh, as it was Valentine's yesterday and we had wine and then Mexican food with alcoholic slurpees and churros and ice cream. Weight is up of course, didn't really need to see that...
On the bright side I am SO CLOSE to getting into first place in the activity tracker thing at work! Laura is only about 1000 average steps/day ahead of me...

You're only up .2 from your Valentine's day, I was up 1.8 pounds from mine so you did good...Good luck getting into first place soon 0
