Before After

Weekly update - and staying on track when I travel

Today is weekly weigh-day, and I'm at 96.8 kilos (213.41 pounds) -- a drop of 0.6 kilos (1.32 pounds) since last week.  I sure do miss those 3 pound weeks, but I'll take what I can get.

That brings my total to 17.8 kilos (39.24 pounds) since the start of the year.

Over the next couple of weeks I've got a couple of business trips -- one day in Sydney next week, and 2 days in Melbourne the following week.  My boss is worried I won't find things I can eat -- I think Sydney and Melbourne, being big cities, should have more options if anything -- but not necessarily low-fat and healthy options.  So wish me luck.  What might be harder is they like to go out on the town together in the evenings and are threatening to spike my drink so I party with them.  (I don't drink.)  I don't want to sit in the hotel room alone while they party, but I really don't enjoy the party scene either.  Maybe I'll bring a good book and just read or phone my hubby in the evenings.  Or call my sister-in-law, she lives in Melbourne.  Maybe we can make some other plans.  Ah well ...

Enjoy Melbourne - and there are heaps of health eating options I promise!

Congrats

on your loss.  Sounds like you can handle the eating while you're out of town, traveling on business.
 
Best regards!

Well done!

Have fun on your trips and remember you can always try the picnic-in-your-room trick. A bag of salad, a pot of hummus or refried beans and a bag of salad, some mixed fruit salad, a bottle of smoothie---you can put together something nice. And there's always noodle bars!

oh guess what!

forgot to say--I was down a bit this morning to 137.8? Am I on my way??

Thanks guys!

I think the only reason my boss is so worried I won't find things I can eat is they have to be VEGAN as well as healthy and low-fat.  But I still think Sydney and Melbourne will have MORE options that are vegan, so it should be no problem.

Thanks for the tips Tawa!
