I know for myself I do some planning before the trip. My one month weigh in would be while i'm gone, so I know that will be about 2 days after my trip. I've also told the personal trainer/nutritionist that I plan on booking a session with her the week after I get back. So that gives me a week to get my butt back into things before I know she's going to push me into over drive.

It sounds like you were fairly active when you were away so the exercise part shouldn't be too hard.

As for the food, after I've had off days I tend to carefully plan a day food wise the night before with something yummy but very healthy to jump start me back into my routine and work very hard to stick to it. If I stick to it, usually the next day is far easier.

Glad to hear you had a great vacation!

We'll get through it together. I'm away on holidays from about the 8-15 and largely paranoid since I know that week I'll be eating out vs cooking my own food or having my boyfriend cook. It also means I will likely be eating 3 meals a day vs the 6 mini meals I'm eating now.

I know in the long run I'll survive and that I'll be able to refocus regardless of the results when I get home... and If I need it, my personal trainer will be there to kick my butt back into shape!
