Went on a road trip to move my youngest to Rome, New York for a job. Left on Saturday June 26th and drove from Portland, Oregon. Arrived on Wednesday the 30th to get her set up in her new apartment.

The entire trip we only ate sparingly. Protein bars, fresh fruits, energy drinks, roadside diner sandwiches, wraps and the like. Just to keep our energy up for the drive, so I logged absolutely nothing the entire time we were gone. Did a LOT of walking (we were traveling with two small dogs), so lots of rest area stops. I exceeded my goals for walking each day we were gone, which I'm sure had a lot to do with this most recent weight loss. I knew there might be a few pounds lost and was pleasantly surprised once I got back home.

I haven't done any journalling or writing down of foods eaten since I got back on Monday July 3rd as I was simply too exhausted from driving all the way back by myself. I slept 12 hours straight the first night back and have taken it very easy the last few days.

Today is my birthday, so my other daughter here is taking me out for dinner tonight and I will resume logging and following my prior goal to get down to my target weight.

All in all, I'm so glad I didn't GAIN any weight and the few pounds I lost is giving me the impetus to continue on! Yay me!

127.5 kg Lost so far: 7.4 kg. Still to go: 36.7 kg. Diet followed: Poorly.

Happy Birthday and it sounds like a good sound travel plan. My hubby always goes thr a drive thru when traveling. McDonalds. He doesn'tcare for it much it is just a convenience.

Thank you for the encouragement everyone! We decided to forgo any type of drive up restaurants for the simple fact that we were pulling her car. Would've made for some awkward turns in those drive-ups, they can be narrow!! Although, in other travels over the years, yes, we've done the fast food thing many times. Very convenient. I'm truly amazed at how much positivity there is on this site. All the kudos from people all over the world who are struggling with so many things. It's so good to be among people who are, like us all, just trying to do our best. Thank you again for all the birthday wishes, I didn't know what lit up my notifications. This was very nice! Oh, and it's BD # 67. Honestly, I feel much much younger! Getting to my goal weight will also help that feeling as well as take some serious pressure off my left knee. I may not need surgery after all, wouldn't that be a bonus!!
