Went for a quick weigh-in before finishing the packing for Denver (that is, I didn't stay for the meeting), and was down 5 pounds from last week. As I said to my meeting leader, that's really the accumulated weight from 2 weeks, as last week showed no change. But still, 2.5 pounds a week is ahead of the pace.
Which is good, because the week in Denver will be hard. I am staying at a Residence Inn, and thus have the continental breakfast that they provide (several "good" options there) and a fridge in my room. I'll try to go by a grocery store this evening and stock up on fruit, and see if I can come up with some low-point lunch options. (There's a fridge and a microwave available at the USGS training center where I'll be during the day.) Then I'll eat out for the evening meal, and try to practice my portion control lessons. Maybe halving the entree and bringing the rest back for lunch will work.

So easy to eat all the yummy greasy stuff that you can avoid at home.
At least I didn't gain weight on my backpack/trailwork trip this weekend. Then again, we didn't eat for 6 hours solid either.
As I was trying to plan for the week, I thought about eating off the appetizer menu so the portions would be smaller. On second thought, so many places have all fried stuff for the appetizers--maybe not. There are lots of restaurant options in the area that can work, as long as I pay attention to what I'm doing...
This trip was a smaller group with less time in camp to eat.
You are doing great considering how much you travel! Congratulations.
Luckily, I haven't had much travel in these 4 months I've been on WW--nothing like year before last, when it was one week-long work trip every month almost. No way I'd have been sticking to it this well if I was on the road that much!
