@MaltedTea very cool and interesting info about eating in other countries! Thanks! And you're doing so well! 36% protein is pretty darn good! I'm loving seeing your calendar updates every day.

In the old days, a vacation from work was an excuse to overeat.
Tracking is more difficult while traveling but thoughtful eating is always possible.

Tracking: good
Calories: under my limit
Exercise: walking more than 30 minutes5 -
@bradkcrew ur msg made me seriously lol!!!We hve all been there. Ha ha. My last vaycay back in April was a tragedy. Lol luckily it was only for 2 days so cldnt cause too much damage. @lazyBlondechef i think ur plan to eat at maintance and exercise is an awesome one as ur not setting urself up for failure. On my holiday i shld hve done wat ur doing and been more realistic then i wldnt hve felt deprived which ultimately led to over eating. Good luck with it, u hve sooo got this!
@biketheworld ur so right!! Its def not a licence to go crazy! Funny how we see it that way!
@thabit11 wowza wat discipline, love it!
@lesdarts180 i love how u live ur retirement life. All the holidaying etc. Its wat i aspire to wen i retire in 17 years from now!!
@Madisonmolly2017 i love every thing about ur msg today!!! Well done to u.. I use to find the feeling of being over stuffed comforting and familiar but these days i find it hurts my belly and is physically uncomfortable.

Kitchen Closed? Yes
Going "nuts" with nuts today? No (7 days-free )
(I go "nuts" with nuts most times, trying to continue a good habit this month. Counting the number of "nuts" free days.) I am still learning a lot about myself in this area!
Lots of freggies today? Just 3
Pass day 1/3 (this is for accountability to myself and my records).4 -
Exercise - yes. 6 mile walk through National Battlefield.
Tracked - yes
Calories - yes. Intermittent fasting not sure how i feel about this. Its hard to eat 1200 kal in the 6 -8 hrs. So I start to feel desperate to get cals and that can't be good4 -
Vacations - my husband and I share desserts. If the meals are big we will split one. I try to limit cocktails. We tend to go on active vacations - hiking etc so it usually works out. There are really cool state parks everywhere. Neither one of us likes to sit by a pool or at the beach.
Sunday, August 8
Tracking: Yes
Calories: under, way too low on protein again
Exercise: Yes, full body warm up 10 min, indoor cycle 45 min, cool down ride, post ride stretch 10 min
Pass days to date - 23 -
Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes, 85 minutes bicycling and 39 minutes walking
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes
I'm not sure I've ever been in the mindset I'm in now on a vacation. I have done two staycations of sorts since I started this year, and I basically tried to focus on the highlights being my exercise opportunities rather than old me that focused mostly on the food. That has made a huge difference so far and I continued to lose even though I was off work.5 -

Did I exercise at least 20 minutes? No. Just under and it was just walking Sienna first thing this morning and for her last walk tonight. Oh, and trying to keep up with her and our neighbor's Shiba Inu as they wrestled and ran zoomies around Kutsu's human and I. We had to keep untangling the leashes. But it was good for the puppies. I didn't get my bike ride in this morning, my hand turned off my alarm, my body rolled over and I slept for another 3 hours. Ah well.
Did I track everything? I did.
Did I stay within calories? I did not. Tracking things can be really depressing, but it just shows how little it takes to rack up the calories and carbs in a day.
I haven't had a real "vacation" since about 2013.At that time, I was in the throes of exercising almost daily and watching/tracking what I was eating. I was about in the middle of the C25k program. So, while I was in Whittier for my friend's 25th wedding anniversary vow renewal and formal party, I didn't run, but the friend I was sharing a hotel room with joined me on a walk around the area we were in and around Whittier College. There was a great deal of dancing at the reception. And, even though everything was buffet style and I didn't track that weekend, I kept my platefuls, if not completely healthy, at least limited in volume. Later in the week, I was in Encinitas and one day I ran on the beach (something I never thought I'd do!) and the next my cousin's wife and I walked around Balboa Park and the Art Museum there. Again, I kept my meals to whatever I wanted to eat, but just limited the amount. I didn't lose any weight, but then, I didn't gain any either.
Since that time, all of my "vacations" have been spent in my apartment. And I was constantly grazing. And not healthily. I might go out and walk or run on the weekend, but the rest of the time I was usually sitting on my @$$ with a book, or watching something, or sleeping.
I put on more and more poundage. I would like to think that nowadays I'd get up in the morning (most of them anyways) and go for a ride and/or take the dog for a walk and I'd like to think I'll have gotten my head out of it's current stupid place and I'd eat as I know I need to to stay healthy. Sigh. Hard to say... I can't even do that for a full weekend these days.
But I'll keep on trying.
@MaltedTea, somehow I missed the link everybody was commenting on so I went back to look at it. OMG, woman, you are gorgeous! Congratulations on all that you've accomplished in your journey so far. I aspire to do a fraction as well.
Also, to everybody, thank you for all your kind words and encouragements. I take it all in and hold it close. I appreciate each and every one of you.4 -
