Well, I gained

[elisebutt]

but only 3lbs!!! So not too bad seeing as I really porked out this holiday. I was a little more careful with my choices than usual, having extra veggies instead of fries but somedays I just had to have the toast with breakfast - 1 slice only and then the night we went mexican, there was a bowl of nachos with my name on it plus the enchiladas and chile relenos. Also it was so hot there, that there were days when I couldn't face lunch so just had a smoothie instead.

Back into induction now so I should shift the 3lbs this week and continue my downward spiral into loser-dom.

If anyones interested I am posting my trip reports on the UK board - I have just posted day 1.

Welcome back! Sorry to hear you had a gain, but I personally think vacation time is the time to indulge. Now that you are home you can get back on program and those three pounds will disappear in no time. What counts the most is that you had a good vacation and are willing to jump right back on the wagon.

Hey, that's not too bad! All the food sounds YUMMY!!!! And at least you didn't "drink" your lunch (like float away in a margarita or something). Having a smoothie isn't too bad, and it helps to refresh your electrolytes or something like that, yeah, that's the ticket!

Off to read your TR soon! Welcome back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Elise it might be hard to "swallow" that gain now but i think you did great. You had fun and now your back on track to blow that 3lbs away! I'm so proud of you that's not a bad gain for all the fun you had. It could have been worst. I gained 5 on my vacation! I did good for about 3 days then threw caution to the wind Oh well it did'nt take but about three days to wash all that souduim and salt outta my system and i was back on track and your back on induction so you'll be fine i'm sure of it. We are here for you and at some point all of us will go thru this.

HOORAY, only 3 pounds!!!

It sounds like you had WAY more than 3 pounds worth of fun! I'm off to start reading your trip report now, sweetie!!!

Welcome back, Elise, we missed you.

I imagine a lot of those three pounds is just water, don't you? No matter, you are back on induction and water or fat, it will all be gone soon and will take a pound or two along

You sound as though your determination and motivation has been renewed by your holiday. Isn't that great?

Onward and downward, sweetie.

Elise,
I'm so glad to hear you aren't beating yourself up over this. It proves your resolve and that is the most important part of this journey! You are such an inspiration to me! Thanks for keeping your faith in you!

Never Surrender!
Tracy
