I can't weigh in until tomorrow (1 day late) as I have been out of town for 7 days and no scale in the hotel room.
Will weigh in tomorrow morning and post the damage to my weight from eating out at restaurants for a week.0 -

@inshapeCK. OK to be a day late for weigh in.
It's hard to maintain healthy habits (eating and activity) when on the road. Whatever it is, it is.
I find when I am away, I tend to do more (more active). As long as I don't overdo the eating, I am usually fine. I tend to preference higher protein, low gluten foods when eating out.
For me, Asian foods also are good (which helps when travelling - usually can find Chinese, Japanese or Korean cuisine somewhere). Asian style food also tends to be low gluten as it is often not gluten grain based (rice although a grain is gluten free). I found, through diet experimentation, that I likely have a gluten sensitivity, so Asian food is a good fit for me.0 -

Ok
@fe452436. Hope you can get relief from that soon. Back pain is debilitating.
Hopefully with the MRI they find the cause and can find a way to eliminate it.

Only up 0.2 pounds after being out of town on vacation for 7 days! WOOHOO!!
Ate a bigger breakfast than usual every day as the hotel came with breakfast and ate about 1 meal at a restaurant every day (lunch or dinner) and ate a lot of birthday cake but for the other meal each day we made sandwiches or snacks to go (e.g., grapes, carrot sticks, muffins) or had leftovers from our mini fridge and we walked a TON so I didn't do as bad as I expected. I thought I would gain a few pounds at least. So happy and pleasantly surprised.

@inshapeCK. Sounds like you had a great week.
I find, unless you have a largely inactive vacation (ie. a week in a resort where you lie by the pool and drink and snack instead of get out and see the sights) your weight will tend to do quite well in self regulating.
The extra activity often largely compensates for the treats and larger meals.
Hope you came back energised and ready to face the world again.
Life is to be lived.
(Unfortunately I need to track, even on holiday, as experience has shown that my self-regulation mechanism is broken (and in probably the opposite way people expect - I don't get hungry). I just don't stress about it, it's a limitation I know about myself and I deal with it. Fortunately MFP makes that easy).1 -

Sad not to have been able to hit the gym more than once this week, time slipped away from me at work as it's hectic at the moment and had to get home early all week to feed the cat and stay on top of domestic jobs as my better half has been working evenings solidly - the challenges of marrying an astronomer!
We have a large group of friends coming over on Saturday so tomorrow we're off work to finish straightening out the house, that might have to count as my exercise. Will do my best to stay on track with food this weekend - at least I'm catering it!1 -

Spent two hours yesterday morning helping to move 8-foot long wooden folding tables for a charity event on a nearby farm, then did a 30 min HIIT workout later. A little sore this morning, but not bad. One new challenge: it's been hurting my jaw to chew lately. Not sure what's up with that0 -

Also FPV drone race competition today. Flew OK. Only one mistake in a heat and it was enough to not make finals, but happy with how I flew. Beat my estimated time for the track. Also has a bad draw of pilots that I was in heats against, but that is just that way things go.
Wife, daughter and mother-in-law not home from musical tonight. Expecting daughter to be VERY tired tomorrow after 4 performances in 3 days. So a "rest" day planned.
Fly interstate for work on Monday, so will also need the quiet time.
Daily Strength challenge

- Second set of 60% of the number you did in the first set (half, then another 10%), wait 2 mins

I've been adding more daily non-exercise movement, primarily in walking to pick up my younger son from day care in the afternoon, which is about 1.4 miles round trip, up and down a 100 foot elevation change according to mappedometer.com. I bring the older son along after he gets off the bus, so it's good for him, too.

Sorry, I haven't been good at checking in all week, or tracking. I've been so busy with work as well as entertaining visitors, eating out and partying a bit too hard.
I have been walking everyday and I've logged in estimated calories for the day - but that's a minefield!
It will all settle down after the weekend so I will get straight back on track!
Hope you all have a great weekend. xx2
