I was back from vacation on Sunday night and facing the scale on Monday at lunch. I had decided to truly take a vacation, even from dieting. I would be follow the core plan to a point but still enjoy myself. I had budgeted a 3 pound gain. I weighed-in at 252.0 with my gain at 2.2 pounds. My loss to date is 16.2 pounds. I am happy that the gain is manageable. I paid the price but thoroughly enjoyed the week. Now it’s back to the plan. This coming week starts my 2nd series of Weight Watchers. It will be over the holidays. I actually think that will be good in helping control the gain that usually happens at that time.
