Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Vacations don't have to result in weight gain
I just returned from a short vacation to Tennessee with the granddaughters and I'm happy to report my weight has remained the same. I definitely didn't limit myself when it came to eating but I did make an effort to choose healthy most of the time. I doubt the Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey double dip waffle cone was healthy but it was good<g> I'm sure the swimming in the water park and all the walking in Dollywood and the Smoky Mountains helped to keep the weight down. It was really hard to find level ground and the legs really received a workout. We visited Clingman's Dome (highest point in the Smokies) and I really found it harder to breathe. The one mile walk left me slightly out of breath. I didn't experience this problem at the lower elevations. I'll be starting the second 10 week session of WW at work today. I'm just glad I won't have to see a gain from this vacation. It's back to Bally's tonight and bike riding this weekend. Beverly 177 / 147 / 140 Congratulations with not regaining after a vacation, no doubt your exercise helped... i Glad you had fun in Tennessee, and way to go on making it a healthy vacation -- I have found that they are actually more fun because there's no "hangover." Sounds like you chose your indulgences wisely and kept up your exercise and that is wonderful!

Sounds like >you chose your indulgences wisely and kept up your exercise and that is >wonderful! Well done Beverley! I wish I could say the same about my holiday, but Polish food (and especially Polish ice-cream and Polish beer) was simply too delicious, and I did gain a pound. Oh well.... But the breakfast buffet was too good to waste! On the plus side, think bowls of raspberries and blackcurrants, topped with natural yogurt or buttermilk and just a little sugar! Yummy!

Yummy! Gaining just one pound on vacation is fantastic. Glad you had a nice trip. Beverly >Gaining just one pound on vacation is fantastic. Glad you had a nice trip. > >Beverly Thanks. It was super! Lots of walking, of course, which helped keep the weight down. But really, I decided that, as I was on holiday, I wasn't going to fret, and just really enjoyed my food!

I definitely [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > Beverly > 177 / 147 / 140 I just came off a week and some holiday too- I didn't go anywhere; I just didn't go to work! It was a well deserved break and even though I was at home, it was great just to do nothing. Curiously, I found it alot harder to stay on my WOE. For you stay-at-homers, I applaud your strength. When I'm at work with our rigid break times and half hour lunch, it's easy to prep things to eat during the day. While I was at home, I was constantly watching the clock to see if it was time to eat yet. <g> I didn't do a single lick of excersize either... and I don't feel guilty about it. I did drop a pound, too, LOL. How I managed that, I have no clue! cooper 160/133/130 > > I just returned from a short vacation to Tennessee with the granddaughters > > and I'm happy to report my weight has remained the same. I definitely [quoted text clipped - 33 lines] > cooper > 160/133/130 I find it harder to stick with the WOE when I'm at home, too. I do much better when I plan something for my days off. I only work four days each week. I also find my eating times and habits change on these days. I often find myself eating only two meals with a couple snacks on my days off. In the summer months I do quite a bit of biking on my days off but I'll have to find something else to do when the bad weather hits. Hopefully I can get into the habit of going to the gym. Glad to hear you managed to lose a pound while you were on vacation. Beverly > It's back to Bally's > tonight and bike riding this weekend. Sounds like you had a great time. Did you miss your bike?

I discovered they close Cade's Cove in the Smokies to auto traffic a couple mornings each week for walkers and bike riders. I think this might be on my list of places to ride in the next couple years. I saw quite a few cars with bikes loaded on the back. Beverly > Yes, I did miss the bike.
