Weighing in after vacation is very humbling. It’s also not entirely accurate, right? Let me show you.
Before vacation, 3/28/26: 215 lbs
After vacation, 4/07/26: 225 lbs
In a little over a week, I gained 10 pounds while on vacation.
Here’s how it’s shaken out since then:
4/08/26: 222 lbs
4/09/26: 220 lbs
4/10/26: 218 lbs
It was hard to see the weight gain, but it’s good to see the weight starting to come back off. Pretty rapidly, too!
I wasn’t very intentional with my eating while on vacation. As soon as I got back home though, I started paying more attention to my food intake. Being intentional has been key in helping me stay on track!
Here’s a full day of eats from Wednesday, 4/8:
When I got home, it was close to lunchtime so I made myself an Italian style sandwich without cheese on it, that way I could get my cheese helping in curds on the side.
In the afternoon, I had a snack.
For dinner, we grilled up some chicken, chicken sausage, peppers, onions and pierogies on the blackstone. I served it with a dollop of sour cream on top. This was incredible!
Give me all the days above 60° and food from the grill!
After dinner, I went for a walk with Piper. It was a beautiful evening to be outside! When I came home, I ate half of the bundtlet that my mom got me for Easter. It was so good!
I appreciate being able to fit a sweet treat in my days. When I’m intentional with my eating throughout the day, I can fit it in while still maintaining a calorie deficit.
The total calories consumed in this day came in around 1,710.
