Business Trip Temporarily Derailed My Weight Loss

[CowgirlJane 14,259]

Over the past 6-7 weeks, I had been losing 2-4 pounds per week. I have been really happy with that given that I am now 3 months out, it was good steady progress.

I just got back from a week long business trip and had my first gain. I felt like I did "ok" while traveling, but let's face it, at home I hardly eat at restaurants, and for a week I had 100% restaurant meals. I ate alot of salads with chicken on them, and didn't get Desserts or any junk food.... but it is definately higher calorie then my normal eating day. I did work out at the hotel, but i had business related events so couldn't do it everyday so my activity level was definately lower.

I am not too discouraged, but it was an "eye opener" that it doesn't take much - a fine line between losing weight and making great progress to nada.

I am back to going to the gym now. I feel that the change in the eating pattern has made me a bit hungrier... so working to get back into my better eating patterns.

You can do it! I have to do it tooooooo. I'm going to focus more on eating organically and wild salmon. I need to put healthier foods in my stomach since I have such limited capacity. Let's do this together!
