[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The game plan would be enjoy your vacation and don’t worry about it. One week in an entire year of consistency won’t make a bit of difference. [/quote]

The problem is that many of us don't only go on a 1 week vacation.  I know I go on 4 5-7 day trips a year plus 2-3 weekends.  That really messes me up because I spend a few weeks after trying to lose what I gained, then lose for a while until the next trip.  Throw in business trips with expense account dinners and set breakfast/lunch meals and I feel like I'm on a hamster wheel with regard to weight.[/quote]

Just a guess - but are you drinking a lot on these trips? If the weight isn't coming off easily you're probably overdoing it.

I really find that is the main culprit when trying to lose/maintain weight as I gotten older. I travel for business semi-often and when I don't drink or drink minimally I can pretty much eat whatever (within reason) as long as I exercise daily and do a lot of walking. I will even work out in my hotel room early in the morning if there's no other option. I gain water weight but it comes off within a few days of getting back on track.[/quote]

Not a lot, but daily, which is more than my norm.  At home I only drink on the weekend. On vacation and even on business trips, we have happy hour, wine with dinner, and usually an after dinner drink.  [/quote]
