147 

108.2

103 even this morning.  This is the low side of normal for me.  I need to eat a bit more to keep the weight on.  I am thinking of going out and getting some stuffed avocado salad for lunch. 

Hey Elina the avocado salad sounds great. Eat some nuts and enjoy.  Diane

After 6 days in Vegas, all that excess has done me in. I left for the trip weighing 107 and came back 117. Ooops. I tend to retain a lot of water, so I know a few lbs will fall off over the next few days. Additionally, I did shed a couple of lbs in preparation for the trip. My happy weight is 110-115, so it wont take too long. However, I do prefer to be at the bottom end of that 5 lb window!

Still, I wouldn't change a thing. I am so diligent every other day of the year, it is nice to not have my app out on vacation counting my calories. It usually takes me 2 weeks or so to get back to where I need to be after vacation.

I predict that a week later you will be way into your comfort zone.  You have this thing dialed in perfectly.  Vegas is so much fun.  I am glad you had a great time.

Normally 10lbs would freak me out. But I know just what to do to get back and I know I ate, but not enough for 10 "real lbs". Lots of water, lots of exercise, no simple carbs and I will be back to normal in no time. Thank you for your support too! 

A new low for me. I'm wondering when it will stop. I've been adding more veggies, a few carbs, and extra treats each day including red wine or a martini.

Well Lynda if you are ready to stop, what worked for me was a big blob of peanut butter each evening. Maybe two. Now its my regular treat. And I love my red wine too but that really doesn't have that many calories. Fieldbrook Il Montagio is a favortie.    Diane
