Traveling is hard

I have such a hard time when I travel.  Even when I do my best to make healthy choices and not go crazy on my calories, I still seem to gain weight.  I know that alot of it has to do with water weight from the long car rides and plane rides, but it gets depressing.  I can go away for a weekend, exercise while I am away and still come back 10 lbs heavier.  Yes, that is TEN ponds in less than 48 hours.  How does that happen.... Sheesh... The good news in, I lost 5 lbs the next day, however I still have an additional 3 lbs to go, since I lost 2 more the third day back.  I am looking forward, to getting back to0 where I began, then I have to go on another trip.  It's a never ending cycle.

Mind over Pounds

I have been losing some pounds, but I am afraid to claim them.  Why you ask?  Because, I don't want them back, but... I feel in my mind, they will come back.  I have been through this before.  I have seen the same numbers com and go so many times, I can barely count.  I remember 10 years ago, saying I will never be this big again, yet here I am trying to lose those same pounds.  Well, I think, NO... I KNOW, I will claim these lost pounds and never return.  The difference between now and then is, then I was fad dieting, everything I could do.  Now I am educating myself.  Not depriving, but making the right choices.  So those lost pounds... yeah I may see one or two of them back every now and again, but that will only be as I teeter-totter before they are gone forever.  I say teeter-totter, because, I don't know about you, but I can gain or lose 5lbs in the matter of 8am to 8pm then again from midnight to 8am, crazy I know.  But I am telling, as I tell myself Mind over Pounds, we are in charge today!
