I do much better on vacation than at home.   I deal with gas and pain if I eat food that are not on my plan so that does ruins a great time.  

I am leaving on vacation in 3 days...  I have to be super good until then. We are going to hawaii so it is a very long flight. There is nothing worse than bad gas while you are stuck on a plane ... been there. 

then the vacation... we want to be on a beach and be active  - so gas and belly troubles are not an option... plus having gas is not so romantic .... lol... 

I probably not only will not gain any - but I plan on losing some... 

water - I found that I love diet tonic... most days I drink that diluted... 30 % tonic - res****er... but some days I just want the tonic... 

I have the same issue's. My gym is only a short drive from my home but I use the excuse that I work so many long hours I don't want to either get up an hour earlier than I already do or get home an hour later! But I know that in honesty I could at least go a couple of days a week. It doesn't have to be every single day or not at all. I also have been thinking a lot about our up coming 'vacation' and how I am going to deal with it! My boss is taking everyone from our veterinary hospital to the conference in Vegas. I'm trying not to worry about it and for now am telling myself I will just be choosing protein's and salads while there. My water intake is a HUGE problem most days. I HATE water to start with so I normally use those flavor packs. But still fall very short of what I should get in most days. Not good! And I have no doubt while in Vegas it will be even worse. But I have several weeks yet to work on that and to drop a few more pounds I hope. We Can do this and we Are doing this! Thanks for the support.

I boil baby carrots and micro sweet potatoes and peel them.  Then I food process them (equal amounts of each) with a little liquid (milk, water, broth etc.).  They taste great and are fewer calories.  You can add eggs, milk and spices and bake into a great root pie too. Sometimes I add a little parsnip too.  Tri
