Teuthis - thanks for sharing! Great job!
Blueskyes - way to avoid the snacks - those can be so dangerous!

I was away for the weekend and found it wasn't as difficult as I thought to stay on track.

Friday, I knew I would be leaving from work and planned ahead packing some turkey and cheese to eat when I got hungry. That worked well because we never got around to eating that night.

The next day there was a torrential downpour so we couldn't really wander the island for food so I survived breakfast by eating the insides of three breakfast sandwiches.

At the restaurants I ate at I realized there actually are typically decent choices. I noticed on one it even said Atkins people could substitute veggies for any side. At one point I was extremely tempted to just say the heck with it, I'm on vacation and get the fried shrimp with french fries. Then I thought about it for a second and thought about how good I felt and how much energy I had and if I got that I would feel bloated and sleepy and it would probably irritate my stomach - not a good way to be on vacation. So I stuck to the plan and got the right foods anddidn't feel deprived at all!

Now if only I had been as good about putting sunblock on when the weather cleared up...ouch...
