    Thanks @mtaratoot : - )

    I do believe that it was possible that I lost weight during the 2 week period of my vacation.
    I like the suggestions that I relieved stress and actually got good night's sleeps : - )

    I did a bit of Zumba every day and a lot of ice skating every day, so burned about 14,000 calories through exercise while away.
    I was tracking my food even though I didn't have a scale. I stayed between 1100 and 1400 calories except for when I had Texas bbq, but I did spread that out over 2 days and still had calories left over to eat on those days.

    My skating muscles have gotten a jump start for the season, they are building up nicely.
    I definitely feel leaner although the scale is not showing it yet. Last winter it took several months of ice skating and then boom I had a 7 pound loss in 1 month instead of my usual 1 pound loss per month. Staying hopeful to see a drop.
    I have a 2 hour ice skating session on Sunday before Thanksgiving dinner with friends, so will definitely be having turkey, stuffing, gravy and all of the trimmings and am not worried about derailing - the calories out will balance the calories in to my mind.

    1st day back to my scale. I don't know what my starting point was for the month, I will use the 7th.

    October 07 - 156.7 - Hard to believe that I actually lost weight on my vacation to Dallas, what with Texas bbq, Taquieras, Margaritas etc. Mind you, I ice skated almost every day. Very pleased.
    October 08 - 160.3 - That gain in one days seems kind of crazy since I had good workouts and was well within my eating levels. Perhaps I had been dehydrated from the flights and am hydrated again.
