I do these weekly but never do manage to paste in the button for them :) Sorry Diana!

I'm officially back from the last funeral, thank goodness! It all went very well but I am glad to be home, and DONE with airport food for the time being. I am so tired of working hard on my weight, heading out for another trip where it is constant airport food and eating out, and then coming home with my weight frustratingly up. It makes me want to deck someone, honestly.

I'm not doing an official weigh-in until next monday, to give the pipes so time to process all that sodium, but I am expecting to be up around 1-1.5 pounds. I can work it off, sure, but I am just not even enjoying the process of eating lovely food and gaining. It isn't worth it to me, but at most of the places we were eating (Like Claim Jumper), even taking leftovers home left me with huge amounts of calories I didn't need. And yet, I am still hungry, and if I don't eat when the hunger pangs begin I start getting nauseous, so I can't just eat less frequently to balance out the higher calorie levels.

All in all it is quite annoying, but I am heartened that I only have one trip remaining, at the beginning of April. I am just so sick of this tango of 1 step forward, 2 steps back, when I would have NO TROUBLE with nice steady losses if I was just able to stay home. I know everything happens for a reason and these funerals were unavoidable, but after the December trip and the holidays it has been a frustrating few months with my weight. That, coupled with the fact that I am limited in how I can lose right now, thanks to the baby, and I am getting awfully close to screaming over this whole thing. Most of the time I can gracefully accept a gain, but right now I am just annoyed.

So yeah, traveling bumped my weight up and I am terribly bloated again (gee, thanks airport food!), and looking forward to getting back into my normal, healthy groove. Wish me luck!
