Happy to have not gained weight!

I was gone for roughly 9 days, and all of the stress of everything before leaving on my trip to Mexico.
Even being gone, eating as well as I did, I am just about 0.4 lb/180 gr heavier than when I left. That doesn't count the fact that I have some swollen ankles this morning! So, I need to settle back down into my routine and I'll know better where I landed, so to speak.
I'm just finishing up my laundry from unpacking last night. And then I am going to go get my grocery shopping done, and put away, and then I'll go out and get Cooper this afternoon.
Hope all are well.

It's great to maintain your weight even after your trip. Good to hear that you're back home safe.

Well, you did a ton of walking on your vacation, too, so I am sure that helped burn all the calories. Flying always makes my ankles swell, it never fails. You got all your laundry done and ran errands, usually the day after a trip I am wiped out, you got more accomplished than I usually do!

I miss the ocean and places along Highway 101 where you have pine trees on one side of the highway and the ocean on the other.
So you are settling back into your life. I bet Cooper is happy to see you.

@TheHorse ........I remember late night driving and seeing a tree directly ahead. As we drove closer the highway went around it. The optical allusion had us going.

@celticeagle That kind of thing can be troublesome at 3 AM.

I just got back from vacation. I am not used to eating before 1pm. Nor am I used to eating 3 times a day. So I'm pretty sure I gained weight. I'm not getting back on the scale until I'm back on my routine and feel comfortable enough to check. I don't want to see the number go up.

@TheHorse Sometimes. Especially as we get older. Medications can cause it too

This is wonderful news, not one bit of weight gain! You were watching your food intake closely, I'm sure:) Cooper will be so happy to see you, back home

I always gain at least a few pounds when I travel so good for you that you did not.

Thank you so much. I can do enough on my own. I tend to eat better when I'm traveling.

@Kouponkaren I have never been on a cruise. I'm not sure I would like it very much,

Really? I can't say the same, unfortunately. I want to try all of the foods where we are traveling to and my downfall is the bread in Europe and on cruises. And speaking of cruises...all bets are off. I really struggle to eat well on cruises because although there are many healthy foods on a cruise ship, there are also many delights and delicacies I don't get a chance to enjoy every day so it's a real treat for me and I can't resist.
