Vacation!! I'm back and I DIT IT!!

So just got back from 10 days of vacation in Tennessee and Florida. Lots of eating out, especially at Disney and Universal. My goal was to get through the trip without adding any pounds (just looking to maintain). Well two days in I decided it was vacation and I wasn't going to log calories (it kind of annoys my wife anyway so it was good to take a break). I definitely splurged here and there (ice cream, burgers, candy, etc) but at the same time was concious of what I was eating and tried to keep things somewhat in control. I was also aware of the potential impact of additional exercise from walking around the parks and took that into account as well.

The end result when I weighed in this morning after my workout? Not only did I not gain a pound, I actually managed to lose another pound while on Vacation!! Yes folks it can be done. I think more exciting than the scale victory though is knowing that I don't have to nitpick every calorie in my daily log in order to maintain a healthy weight. I've actually learned how to just live and make smart choices about food and can do it without a food and exercise diary. That said, I'm back to logging as of today
