Greetings from Pennsylvania!
Well I survived the long travel day yesterday. In fact, at one point I realized my mother and I had forgotten to eat lunch! The biggest challenge was walking by the restaurants in the Milwaukee airport...the smell of pizza fresh from the oven was almost enough to drive me mad! I started drooling and twitching at the thought of the ooey gooey pile of cheese and tomato dripping off the warm crust...aaaahhhhhh!!!!!!! LOL
But I made it through. At the next airport we bypassed the yummy smells and grabbed some salads, bottled water, and some fresh fruit that we split. It helps so much that Mom is a healthy eater. If she were eating pizza or a burger, it might have been a little easier to "justify" a poor choice... Yeah! for Mom!
We got in to my uncle's around 10 last night, and they wanted to visit...and have a snack!!! Ugh! But then my uncle brought out a HUGE bowl of fruit that he had cut up!!! I was so excited! I went to bed a few hours later exhausted, full and satisfied with my willpower.
Plus walking through three airports definitely added to the exercise count!!!

Good job!
I think they must fan those smells out to you in the airport concourse.
last time I really ate at an airport it was Quiznos subs and they were AWFUL, but it was the only place past the security and I didn't want to go through the checkpoint again.

Ohhh, evil cheese steaks!
My hubby is from Sough Jersey, so we spent a lot of time in philly. Gosh, what great, greesy food! Now that we live in Florida, where I am from, I am not as tempted by food as I was.
I think it's awesome your mother is healthy, which has to make it easier for you! Have fun in PA, and good luck on your weight loss!
