I got back late last night from my trip. I don’t have any food logs to post, but here is my general assessment of how things went.

Good things
1. Packed a healthy lunch for the trip there and didn’t eat Ben and Jerry’s at the airport
2. Walked around the airport on my layover rather than just sitting around.
3. Ordered reasonably good things in restaurants: mostly protein and veggies. Avoided the ubiquitous starchy side dishes
4. Didn’t gorge on the restaurant food when they served me way too much.

Things to improve
1. Had a mini binge on some mediocre cookies on Saturday. Once I started, I didn’t want to stop and ate three of them.
2. It was pretty hard to avoid eating fatty food.
3. I should have packed some nonperishable healthy snacks to keep around for later in the trip and found something to bring for the flight back. Once my healthy snacks ran out, I found myself at the mercy of whatever the nearest café was offering and I ended up eating some junk food.

My weight is supposedly up 1.5 lbs, which I don’t think can possibly be fat. I’m doing my best not to freak out and to just get right back on track.
