Vacation

What is it about vacation that causes us to lose our heads and get off plan? Is it the many different food choices available? I doubt it because we have a lot of restaurants available back home too. Is it the ease and smell of boardwalk foods...maybe, but that's not much different than going to a carnival. I think it's just the idea of taking a vacation from everything. We all have so much stress in our daily lives...the family, our work, school, etc. that it feels good to not have to think about anything except having fun. I know that was the way I was this year. I didn't go overboard on the boardwalk with fried foods or pizza but I did eat out of my comfort zone with my regular meals. There were so many great meals that wouldn't have been as great if I didn't eat it. And you know what, I don't even feel guilty. I know last year I would have because I was still trying to lose but this year, I think I looked at it more like a challenge. If I eat THIS food and exercise THIS much, will I still maintain or will I gain weight. So far I've only gained 1 lb so I still consider it maintaining. I was down to 129 before I left so being back up to 130 is my normal weight. Will this all catch up with me after a week or will I be able to keep maintaining...only time will tell. I'll be sure to keep you posted.
