Good holiday morning! First, I want to thank Linda for posting some really good stuff on this blog while I was vacationing. Excellent insights!
Okay, some personal stuff about how I approach vacations as that relates to the scales. I went to a resort in Conneticut called Foxwoods. It is an Indian reservation and there is a new MGM Grand hotel that just opened several months ago. Wonderful new rooms..wonderful new spa and workout facility...wonderful new casino and WONDERFUL restaurants. One of the restaurants is a famous deli from Brooklyn, N.Y. called Juniors. They are especially known for their New York cheesecakes.
Okay: here was my approach: 1-every morning I went to the gym and ran treadmill, did some weights, pushups. 2-ate a pretty small breakfast of some type of protein 3-tried to walk lots during the day 3-lunch ...okay, was pretty negligent...corned beef sandwiches, potatoe pancakes, 4-dinner...no alcohol, lots of protein, some vegetables and carbs. allowed myself 2 pieces of cheesecake in 3 days.
Results: 1.5 pounds of weight gain in the three days.
Response: I will follow a modified Phase 1 dietary plan for this week and check the scale next Sunday.
This strategy works for me, meaning that on vacation, I will liberalize my food intake because to be honest, I understand completely that for almost everyone, part of the "fun" of the vacation are the foods associated with the place you go to,. To deny yourself everything will in fact take away from the global sense of fun you have. Pick and choose the things that you really want and perhaps eliminate some of the high=caloric sources that do not mean that much to you. Also, be sure to check that scale when you return and have some sort of forulated plan as to what you will do to bring the weight back down. We get into trouble if we do not check the weight or have no plan.
Have a great day!!!
