Toni Bourlon's Journal, 08 Mar 23

As usual, my weight goes up over the weekend & back down during the week. Last weekend was particularly egregious, since I justified a big pasta meal AND dessert because I ran a 5K on Saturday. Yeah, doesn't really work like that. I'm running another one at the end of the month, and need to remind myself that a 5K doesn't justify such a heavy "carb load."

Still, it's interesting that I've gone over my calorie budget for 2 days now, and have still dropped a few lbs, getting closer to my stated weight. I'm concerned about next week, though, because we'll be out of town Sunday thru Thursday, taking care of some family business in Colorado. The hotel we're staying in has a gym and a pool, plus there's good hiking places nearby (if it's not too cold!). But I tend to gain weight on vacations because of overeating, since we'll be eating out alot. I need some good strategies to keep that in check. Also, I won't have my computer so I won't be able to track, unless I put it on paper, which I may do. Tonight I'll do another weights session, tomorrow will be cardio.

I use the Fast Secret app for my phone too so that I can log everything to at least keep me somewhat in check. Although when on vacation I don't because it is nice to have a break! My weight goes up on the weekend too but I only look at my weight for recording on Friday mornings and then I am more consistent.

I used to travel for work constantly, and stuck to a routine of eating fruit and yogurt ONLY from the continental breakfast at the hotel, then a leafy salad with water at lunch (always available at any restaurant), and then protein + garden salad or cooked veggies for dinner -- no bread, no dessert. By eating like a thin & fit person, I stayed between 115-120 lbs. Exercise could include continuous walking at the airport until they start boarding your flight, 30 minutes in the hotel's gym daily, and calisthenics in the hotel room if there's no gym. I never ate fast food.
