Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / May 2004I'm leaving on a jet-plane....and will try to count calories this time around
I leave for the U.S. tomorrow on my one month's trip to the U.S. I had been debating between watching calories or watching carbs during the trip. The last few weeks of watching calories (and reducing carbs to control hunger) have been pretty successful. So I decided to try and watch calories as my "main thing" during this trip and see if I can actually continue to lose weight during my travels through Boston, Missouri and New Orleans... I'm going to increase my calorie limit to 2500/day though. That should be possible, you would think! I may change my mind tomorrow morning before I leave and buy a bunch of macadamia nuts and cheese cubes though. :) In the meantime, I ordered low-calorie meals. I've ordered "diabetic meals" before hoping to get something low carb, but they never seemed to be low-carb at all... doug > doug I woulda asked if you needed a house-sitter, but June is by far my least favorite month for Japan. Cold, layer & run a bath. Hot & muggy, wear shorts & run a cool shower. Drizzling for 6 weeks, what can you do but suffer???

Timing for this trip couldn't be better! :) I actually do need a house sitter, because I have a dog! But one of my friends is doing that. Poor little Tao has gone into a definite funk since he saw me take out my suitcase... doug Doug Lerner wrote: > I actually do need a house sitter, because I have a dog!

When my previous Newfie saw the suitcases, she would get into the Bronco and not get out until she was positive she was coming along. We packed around her.

The [quoted text clipped - 14 lines] > > doug Yes. I'm leaning back towards doing low-carb for the trip as being the *easiest*, because there is always something to eat. This evening I decided to splurge on calories a bit, eliminated the high-carb tomato juice from my usual evening fish stew and used butter instead. And a lower-carb assortment of just green vegies. I found it greatly reduced my after-dinner hunger cravings. doug On 5/25/04 7:28 PM, in article c8v71d$7q6$1@news.abdn.ac.uk, "Ada Ma" <ada_ma2001@DONOTSPAMMEYOUEEJIThotmail.com> wrote: > Have a safe journey! > [quoted text clipped - 20 lines] >> >> doug Enjoy the trip. I would have a great deal of difficulty being on a diet in New Orleans. That place has some very good food. Maybe you will do enough walking around to lose the extra calories you are going to take in. Have fun!

I was cognizant of my burgeoning waistline then, and occupied my free time by walking all around the French Quarter. Problem was I walked right *out* of the French Quarter, not a nice place to be late on a weekday night, lemme tell you... |
