Wish me luck! A week in Vegas...

 Howdy!  So here's my update...

I've done a great job of working out at the gym here for at,least an hour every morning.  I am also trying to walk as much as possible.

Eating to plan is a challenge....  Irregular mealtimes and lots of candy are prevalent.  I am successful at having a good breakfast, but have found myself snacking on candy.  Today, I am making sure to have protein available for snacks, but have still had some candy.  I will work on eating less candy...

3 more days to go :)

I had a great time in Vegas!  However, I did not experience a good relationship with food while there :( 

On a good note- I worked out 3 of the 5 days, and walked a lot every single day.  I also ate in moderation, and did not engage in any type of bingey behavior.  

On a bad note- I went waaaaaay over my calories on most days, mainly due to all of the evil candy and desserts that were around me.  I really took this as an opportunity to eat way too much of all of the things I normally stay away from.  I currently weigh 4 lbs more than I did before the trip.  This doesn't surprise me- in the "old days", I would easily gain that much weight or more on a trip like this.

The good thing: as soon as I arrived back home, I got on plan.  I worked out and logged my food this weekend, and stayed within my calorie range.  I also promised myself that "vacation" and "home" behavior need to remain seperate.  At home, I need to always remain diligent to plan.

My challenge this summer will be to stay on plan during cabin season- I cannot use every weekend as an excuse to eat poorly!  I will need to treat cabin as a "home" situation, since we will be going there so much...  I can do it though!  There are lots of healthy foods that I can grill, and lots of healthy snacks that I can take on the boat :)
