I did well yesterday in the food and exercise areas. I let myself graze when I got home last night, but didn't eat much. Grazing isn't good because it's unplanned, and because it's just various small bits of food, which makes it hard to record what I ate. I walked the dog twice and went to the gym for the elliptical stepper. Between those 3 events and various things during the day I logged 17K steps on fitbit.

Today, tomorrow, and Thursday are going to be tough because I'm traveling. I'll host a dinner tonight. I'm going to get the menu online before I go and decide what I'm going to eat. I'd like a glass of wine, but I have to limit myself to one, and my for diet it would be better to have none. Wednesday will be an all-day meeting with food brought in bufffet style -- not so difficult for eating -- but that night we're going to a colleague's house and I think he plans on having pizza. Gotta limit myself to one piece and one drink. Workout times are going to be limited during the trip but I have to make them a priority. So the goal is to return from the trip, weigh in Friday morning and weigh less than today. That will be hard, but that's the goal.

Sorry for the long post. Thanks for "listening" and thanks for the support!

Have you ever thought about your water consumption when you are traveling? Also what about packing healthy snacks in your travel case? Just a thought. I tend to "think" I am more hungry when I travel when I actually am not properly hydrated.

I always made good use of the coffee maker in the hotel rooms for hot tea to fill me up before business meals and social engagements. It really helped with keeping me from overeating.

I agree with Nicholaix - try to find a heqlthy option to eat before you even go to the events. Bring almonds from home, or protein shakes...

Thank you all for the suggestions and support. I think I did all of these, and it worked! I actually lost weight on the trip -- yay!

I agree traveling is difficult. You sound very committed and have a plan.
