Well it's another loss this week even trough I was sure I was going to gain! It proves that even if you have a few bad days, you shouldn't give up! I lost 1.2 pounds this week.
As promised, I'm going to write today about a few tips to make out of town trips because of work a little easier.
First of all, always, and I say ALWAYS, bring your WW calculator and your point plus book with you! It's not because your not home that you should stop tracking! So don't stop and try to make the best choices as possible!
Second of all, before you leave, call the hotel for some infos. Ask for a room with a fridge so you can pack a few lunches before leaving and put them in your hotel fridge upon arrival. Most hotels have a few rooms with fridge and microwaves at the same rate as the regular rooms for people with small children or who need their meds in the fridge... Or for people on a diet! ;) Also, ask if there's a pool or a gym. If so, bring your workout cloths and sneakers and go for a quick workout after your meetings. It will also help you unwind and lose weight! While your on the phone with them, why not ask what they serve for breakfast and what restaurants are close to the hotel. There's a Subway restaurant a few blocks away? Great! A grocery store? Even better! You'll be able to buy fresh fruits and salads!
Third of all, be flexible. Don't go off track completely because you ate ONE meal that you are not proud of! Just get back on track when the next meal comes around.
Finally, have fun with your coworkers! Go out and DO enjoy a nice supper with your coworkers because you never really get the chance to hang out with them out of work and frankly, because you only live once! They usually always serve chicken or another lean protein in any restaurants! Just stay clear of words like "sauce", "cheezy" and "fried" and you should be fine! Don't hesitate to ask your server for details on what's in the dish you're about to order or how they cook it. He's there to help you so don't be afraid to ask him!
Hope these tips will help you! Give me some of your tips! Can't wait to read them!
