.. on track, that is. After 6 days out of town at a conference, I am excited to be home (if only for 4 days) and fixing my own meals. The conference I went to was held at a remote location and I was without transportation. All meals and snacks were provided on-site. Although I did bring along some granola bars and such, I ended up eating what was provided.

Everything was served buffet style and it was all tasty home-cooked food. In addition to generous meals, there was dessert after every dinner AND lunch and snacks 3x a day! Oh my gosh, I have never seen such much food! I wrote down all of my points (between 30 and 40 points most days) and tried to make some better choices (salads, lots of water, etc.) I did succumb to dessert every day and more snacks than necessary. Exercise was problematic because I was working (I interpreted the conference) up to 15 hours per day. I was exhausted by the time it was over. I did get in a few miles of walking, but not enough.

SO … I am expecting to see a gain this week, but for some reason my scale is flipping out and not working right (telling me I weigh 121 - ya right!)  so I haven’t even been able to check. Wednesdays are my WI day so hopefully I will have it fixed or replaced by then. Thanks for all the words of encouragement and suggestions on my last post. I read most of them after I got back, but I still have 2 trips coming up and I will definitely refer back to them.

Here’s today’s food:
