    Haven't done any big trips since I started losing weight. However, my habits are so different that I feel good about it. I have gone on mini trips to visit family or a night away here or there and u am just thoughtful about my choices with a focus on exercise.

    Great job @makattack220 !!

    Thank you!💗

    I was way under my calories yesterday, mainly because I was prepping food for a dinner we're hosting on Friday. I was trying a lot of bits and bites for taste and flavoring which made me full. The calories just didn't add up. The danger in the past would have been to feel like I needed to eat up to a calorie goal, which would trigger a binge.

    So far in the last 2 years, almost all of our vacations have been at an AirBnB or VRBO with family and friends. Mostly cooking our own meals the whole time. The issue for me is the social eating side of things - watching other people enjoy the chips and salsa and the wine and beer. So I indulge, and indulge, and indulge. When the kids were little, we'd let them have the sugary cereals that they didn't get at home and called it vacation cereal. I think food on vacation triggers the same thoughts in my head - vacation food that I can't/won't eat at home. We're headed out for a long weekend next week to visit our daughter and boyfriend in Santa Barbara and just like the situation above, I will see if I can recognize what is happening in the moment and stop the binge.

    Feb 22:

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? ❌ No. Travel day in the car coming home from vacation.
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? ✅ Yes.
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? ✅ Yes.

    Pass Days Used: too many (see explanation below)

    We got home from vacation tonight (Tuesday) as well. 5 days in NC visiting my hubby's children for his 65th birthday (surprise). His daughter doesn't cook, and his son and his wife haven't moved into their new home yet, so we literally ate every single meal out except for one. There was a continental breakfast in the hotel, so I was able to eat scrambled eggs, bacon, and fruit for breakfast. I'm eating gluten free (NO GRAINS), and sugar free, so for the other meals, I either got a salad, or a sandwich and ate everything but the bread. Dinner was usually steak or seafood and veggies. However, I did splurge a couple of times: one day I had a chocolate milk shake with the grandkids, and another day I had quite a few chocolate covered peanuts. We did take a cooler with snacks for the ride down, and I brought a variety of fresh veggies and my own "trail mix" of raisins, nuts, and seeds.

    All in all, I was happy about my meal choices and I never felt like I was "starving". I was even able to bake a Ding Dong Cake for hubby's birthday without sneaking a sample (or two or three!) while I was making it!!!! I continue to be amazed how easy it is for me to 'just say no' to sweet treats since I've gone totally off of all grains!

    I'm very happy that I weighed in this morning only 3 lbs higher than when we left. I think that some of that is from being constipated today from the 12 hour car ride yesterday! (TMI, I know.) But I'm very happy that my weight has stayed about the same.

    Huge non scale victory today! I had my first fitting for my wedding dress (second marriage at 50!) anyway I stumbled on the dress of my dreams on a consignment site but it was half my size … I’ll never be a size six but asked a seamstress who specializes in wedding dresses if it could be modified. In January she explained how they would pull the dress up and do an extra seam across the front in addition to a corset back. Fast forward to yesterday and ten pounds lighter. I walked in to “you’ve lost weight!” She had cut out the size six shell leaving just the exterior and it fit like a glove. Granted it still needs a corset and the old skin tight shell never would have fit me but now she says she only needs the corset and we don’t have to chop up the front - so excited! She asked me to write down the app name because she wanted to know what was working so well 😁

    @Intrinsicat What a wonderful story!! How exciting is that?! What a fantastic NSV!! I'm so happy for you, and I can't wait to see a picture of your dress!

    Exercised? Does waking up in a panic when your daughter comes running into the room literally yelling "MOM! GET UP! IT'S 6:30!" count? Not sure which scared me most, the initial "MOM!" or the "It's 6:30!" The adrenaline rush was wild, and I felt like crap the rest of the day.
    Tracking? Just looked at my diary to see.... apparently not.
    Calories? Let's just go with no. I'm sure my tendency to eat even more poorly when I'm stressed played out here.

    Good news though, even if I didn't hear it until near the end of my work day. No need for a new motor. What I thought was going to cost several $1000s ended up being less than $1000 and involved the coil, spark plugs, flushing the fuel lines, and hoping that does the trick. The check engine light is out and it seems to be running okay. Thankfully.

    Exercise: 15 minutes MommaStrong, 30 minute walk
    Tracking: Planned the day
    Calories: Followed the plan - under!

    Strategy for vacation... is there really such thing as a vacation when you have little kids? It's just doing the same thing in a different place. And for the past 2 years in a pandemic, it's doing very little in a different place. The only "vacation" we've had is going to family's summer house. Which has been nice, but does not present all the challenges of a full vacation.

    I now have older kids - just turned 6 and about to turn 10 - and feeling like the pandemic is easing. We have 2 vacation planned that I would consider "real" vacations - as in we are trying to do different things and have fun. I guess I need to come up with an eating plan for those vacations...

    Sorry, no insight, but thanks for the reminder!
