Vacation time

Hello ladies! I was on vacation last week. My hubby got sick during vacation and I came home with whatever he had...no fun! It seemed easier to stick to a plan on vacation with no schedule.
I just ate when I was hungry and enjoyed my time. I lost a few pounds and I'm sure it's from all our walking. Now that I am home and feeling better, I am determined to get back on track. My immediate goal is to lose 20 pounds. I had RNY 2 years ago and this last year I have started gaining weight. I'm sure it's because I wasn't able to go to the gym and have been working from home for over a year and my whole routine turned upside down. It was easy to snack and graze. Even though I can't eat much, when you snack absent-mindedly, it's still easy to get too many calories in! I'm off to create food plans and plan to ride the recumbent bike for 30 minutes today. Wish me luck!

Best of luck with your plans. It sounds like you've got it solid! Let us know your progress!
I recently read a book called Mindless Eating by Brian Wansick that gave me some great insight and strategies for cutting off eating mindlessly. I fojnd it a great read. It's truly an everyday struggle.2 -
You got this! You recognize it so that is the first big step.3

Good luck! Even just keeping food to meal times and cutting out snacking will likely help. You've got this!!1
