Vacation approaching

[bluemoon]

Hi everybody

I had followed induction and OWL up to the fruit rung all fairly well. Then things started to slide! I ended up gaining quite a bit back that I had lost

Well, my trip to Italy is rapidly approaching, so I am doing a clean 2 week induction, and then moving through the rungs again.

I honestly think that one of my biggest mistakes was not posting on the forums here. Without posting, it was easier to cheat because I never talked about it afterwards LOL. Updating my exercise tracker was a motivation, and ignoring it allowed me to slack a bit. Well, I'll weigh in on day 15 and go from there.

One question I do have: is there any place worse than Italy to go to for an Atkineer? LOL Pasta and bread galore. I'm a bit worried about how I'm going to manage while I'm there. I'm going to be there for 3 weeks. Suggestions?

Oh, I have an e-mail pal from there! She's LCing.

There's more to life than pasta. lol.

Olives, cheeses, and meats are a big thing over there. Who'd a thunk?

Best wishes on your travels.

Pictures are great souviners to share with those of us sitting here watching you go on vacation.

Re: Vacation approaching

Remember that pasta in Italy is usually only a first course and is served in smaller amounts than in North America. Opt for a seafood first course or an antipasto plate. For your entree there are many meat, chicken and fish dishes that you can have. Finish everything off with a nice espresso or a rich coffee with heavy cream. OK, its official, I'm jealous of your vacation. Why not do a little research on the net to see what dishes you may order in restaurants.
