Vacation Blues

I just got back from vacation --visiting my brother and family out of state. I didn't have a lot of control over my food (they cooked), but I managed to stay in my points. I arrived home today and I've gained four pounds. Ugh. Some of it is water-weight from the excess salt and flying.

I KNOW it is temporary, but it still is sad when the weight crawls up. I stayed in my points, but between the extra salt and bloating---I'm just feeling blah.

I'll try to re-weigh on Sunday after I am finally back on my routine. Vacations are great, but they mess with my system.

    4lbs is totally in the range of water weight, especially with air travel or hours and hours in a car. Don’t worry.

    You'll be back on track in no time, Loulee. The great thing is you know what's going on - a temporary fluctuation, a blip!

    I don't know about you but I often find coming home from a vacation to be a bit blah anyway, with or without weight changes. It seems to take me a day or two to readjust. Probably partly fatigue, partly back to daily reality.

    The Sunday weigh-in sounds a good plan. No matter the number, remember it's the long term trend that matters (as I know you know). You've got this!

    Came home--dog hurt himself. And it's been one thing after another...

    Hugs! I'll be back home this afternoon. Will find out tomorrow morning how my weight is doing after a nearly 5hr flight yesterday and a nearly 4h train ride today. And some constipation from unfamiliar food. It will pass.

    Update: 7 hour train ride. Sigh. Things didn't go too well in the end. And I've (tmi probably) pooped 4 times since last night.

    The constipation and water retention are the worst when I travel. I hope you get home safe.
