Back from Vacation . . . the good and the bad.

I'm not the one who posted asking for tips for vacationing No S stye but I would have if s/he hadn't. I was actually logging on to ask the same question when I saw it already posted!
So, I'm back.
Before I left I thought about how I would do everything and decided to No-S on vacation the same way I do it at home: regular ol' No S, range and shovel everyday regardless of location. The only vacation mod I decided on was to eat off whatever restaurant plate I got and try to eat a reasonable amount.
Well . . .
I had no problem staying with three meals, no snacks. Some of my plates were indeed large but I tried to visualize my 8 inch and eat somewhere in that volume neighborhood. Great!
As for ranging, I did not keep it up. I tried hard (and did) for the first few days but then it became too complicated to stick to.
Shovelgloving: this is the strange thing. I actually took Sledgie (my daughter's affectionate name for my sledgehammer) but found myself unwilling to shovelglove in front of my husband. If you're thinking that's just silly, I agree. There it is, though.
If I had planned to make vacation days exempt, I probably could have been happy with that but since I did actually make the plan to stay on, I'm counting them as failures.
I'm glad about No S-ing, though. I lost a pound.
