Hello!
I am losing more weight, after a little plateau. I even lost 3 pounds while in North Carolina last week. How? I watched portions, although I had everything I really wanted. I walked a lot. I walked hills, and not the flat land of Florida. It was challenging, particularly with my lungs not yet at full power after the surgery last year. I huffed and puffed going up some hills, losing my breath once. I had to keep my inhaler close. The point is, I did not let that stop me. I adapted.
I am leaving for a family event tomorrow, flying to Saint Louis, Missouri. I've never been there before, and all I can think of is BBQ! Funny, I know. However, it is human nature to think of food, entertainment, and other comforts when traveling. I am going with my super supportive step-mom. I suggested that we split every big restaurant meal, so we can try different things while still eating less than we would if we ordered two meals, two desserts, etc...
I did some research on restaurants in St. Louis, and where we will be staying; the portions of food are humongous. Land of the Free and Home of the Fat! LOL No, really, Americans have taken portion sizes to a whole new level. Also, everything looks completely delicious! UGH. Extra challenging! We'll see. I'll update you on Monday, after I get back. I plan on walking a load to get all the food off. That's the best approach while vacationing. Exercise your food off. Just to stay even, if nothing else. I also drank a ton of water.
Well, ta-ta till Monday - wish me luck!
