Some times it's almost like New&Improved found his way back on...but that can't really be the case. Right?

Yes, he was banned a little over a month ago. It's been nice, though there are occasionally people with similar toxic behavior popping up from time to time.

Just a couple of days away from my short in-state vacation. First trip post-surgery. Still feeling anxious but am prepping the best I can to have protein bars aplenty so that I stay out of restaurants as much as possible.

I always found that when i go on vacation or during holidays i usually lose weight. I become super aware of everything i eat so i don't gain and end of losing.
I also do a little research on the local restaurants on line and study the menu's and know exactly what i will be having before i walk in the door. Ask me any restaurant chain and i can tell you exactly what i always get..... hehe.. it's a thing.
Have a great vacation.....

Well, that was quite the start to the morning this weekend. How's everyone doing? What are your plans for this weekend? I'm going to go have some responsible and social distanced hangout time with my best friend and her dogs, all of whom I haven't seen in half a year because of COVID-19.

So I think tonight is the night.
I'm gonna make the Ricotta Bake.
Except I think I'm gonna brown some ground chicken with some italian seasoning and crushed red pepper and add it into the mix for some extra protein.

I think I overachieved today. Decided to enjoy the good weather and go drive out to a site I did a lot of camping and hiking at years and years ago. Planned on a simple little short trek around the old stomping grounds. Cut to 2 hours, 4 miles, and 950 calories later and I think my little trek turned into a slightly bigger one. Ranged all over the old trails and got to reminisce. Was a good distraction from dealing with unpleasantness.

The vacation was great and lovely and I stayed very active while still getting to sample foods I hadn't yet tried since surgery. After getting back, I decided to stay off of social media for a little while, which also included these forums. I had a lot of work in the office to catch up on and needed to focus on that. Of course, the past week or so I have been struggling a lot mentally and emotionally. I've desperately wanted comfort food and have done well not giving into that temptation. This week doesn't feel like it'll go much better, but October always seems to be the worst month for me.
Had an anxiety dream last night involving a substantial weight gain in the past week. Absolutely no basis in reality since I've stayed on plan. I think it stems from Saturday when I ate some extra calories due to a 2 hour hike earlier in the day that burned 900 calories. The extra calories brought my total intake up for 1025, as opposed to 700-800. And my extra calories were from curry egg salad, so it was a protein packed choice. And yet, my brain some how decided that would lead me to gain 10 pounds in one week and threw that are me while I slept. Brains can be jerks.
