[quote=Anonymous]OP back with an update.  I stepped on the scale this morning after getting back from a two week vacation on Sunday with much trepidation, but I was down 1.5 lbs!  I couldn't believe it because it felt like things had gone off the rails a little bit toward the end of our trip with too much airport junk food and not enough exercise.

Things that helped: I got a ton of exercise, i.e., strenuous hikes or bike rides almost every day of the trip.  I didn't eat breakfast since I don't normally eat it at home, so no big pancake or omelet meals.  I didn't drink that much.  I had wine or a beer with dinner a few times, but no day drinking and no sugary margaritas.  I had ice cream on a couple of occasions and an amazing piece of cake one night, but I mostly avoided desserts since there were no particular specialties that I couldn't get at home.  I found a fantastic grocery store with an amazing selection of prepared foods, so on nights when the family ordered pizza or got fast food, I picked up a fresh salad or burrito bowl and cut fruit.

Mostly, I was just mindful about eating, which I'm usually not while on vacation.  If there was something I really wanted, I ate it without guilt, but I avoided eating sub-par junk like take-out pizza or chips just because it was easy and available.[/quote]
