Vacation Weight and a Full Day of Eats

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:

I started out the day with a large oatmilk latte with 2 pumps of vanilla from Tim Hortons while I got caught up on some work emails. 

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.
