I do normally eat more at breakfast while on vacation because I love breakfast food, but I don’t like making it. Plus, I figure I need the extra energy for the extra things I want to do. But I do try to eat a healthy lunch and dinner.Good morning, Cathy clan!
I can relate. I just got back from vacation, during which I ate anything and everything I wanted - which I’m okay with, but now I have to regroup!-———————————————————————————————————————Got caught up on Cathy strips. For lightenup and others from a couple of days ago: Yes, most schools in Georgia start early in August. Teachers in my county go back to work tomorrow, and the kids start the middle of next week. It really does make sense to get the first semester finished BEFORE Christmas holidays, and we have some good breaks now. At least there’s good AC nowadays. When I started teaching MANY years ago, all I had to keep me and 30 kids “cool” was one box fan! We started after Labor Day back then, but we still had some miserably hot days!-——————————————————————————————————————-Hi, Cathy Clan! Good to “see” you!
This strip I can relate to – gained 5 pounds in 4 days on a reunion camping trip – yes we eat very well and don’t move too much! Should have it all off by the end of next week though as I have in the past 37 years – although I usually gain only 3 to 4 pounds.
Oddly enough, I usually either stay the same or lose a little weight on vacation. Maybe because “grazing” is harder, but it always seems like I eat more when I’m away from home, tho I think I’m probably more active. I do keep my breakfast the same (fruit & yogurt) and I eat it in my hotel room.
GretchensDad wants to head south in a couple of weeks or so to visit his family. We probably won’t gain too much weight while we’re gone because no one there seems to like to eat out at restaurants very much, preferring to just cook at home every night instead. I’ve never really considered visiting my in-laws to be an actual “vacation” because they live out in the sticks and we never go anywhere or do/see anything when we’re there [which is why I take lots and lots of books with me whenever we go!!!] but still, it’ll be nice to get away from home for a while and not have to really do much of anything other than relax, forget about all the chores waiting for me [at home] and just enjoy spending time with my husband’s family for a couple of weeks.
Hi, rgcviper!
Hello and Happy Wednesday [at least what’s left of it] fellow “Cathy” fans. Hope everyone had a really nice day today!

I always gain weight on vacation. It never fails! Though, it partly depends on how physically active the vacation is.

I can’t afford to go on vacation and I still gain weight. Probably because I’d rather enjoy my meals.
