  • My weekend trip!

    So, our scooter club went on a 2 day rally this weekend and we had an absolute blast!
    I'm in Victoria, B.C., and we rode to the ferries and went over to Saltspring Island and after another ferry ride we went up to Chemainus. It was quite an adventure, with monsoon rains rains one day and hot sun the next. One fellow's bike ran out of gas, broke a brake cable and he also wiped out on the first day... :yikes

    There was one other member who was on Atkins and we were laughing when we both pulled out our little lunch kits!

    I had a 3/4 full bottle of frozen water packed in a thermal bag with cheese, pepperoni and four peeled boiled eggs in a little container, and she had cheese, eggs and jicama, so we traded some pepperoni for jicama.

    We ate out a few times and she and I had no problem finding Atkins friendly things to order.

    We went to a cidery as well and I participated in a tasting. Bf and I shared the same tasting glass, and they gave us such a tiny amount that if I added up the six things we tasted into one mouthful, it wouldn't even have been a full mouthful, so I wasn't too worked up about that. That's actually more alcohol than I've drank in about a year..lol.

    The biggest problem was getting enough water in. I was just not able to come near the 64+ that I usually drink because we were on the go so much.
    I swear, I've threatened to buy Depends for the long scooter rides....lol

    Anyway, great weekend! With a little planning on my part it was absolutely no problem to stay eating clean.

    Hey moochie, congrats on planning ahead and being in control of your food intake. It's funny how determination works. Sounds like your bike trip was a blast. Maybe the next time we're in Victoria, we'll rent one of those scooters and join you on a mini ride!!!

      Sounds like you had a blast. I'm so glad you shared this with us. It shows when Atkins becomes a way of life, you can still participate in great times and not cheat on your WOE. Glad you had fun!!

                Here's a link to some picture albums.
                That's me in the green jacket (my bf in the red jacket)and you'll see me in my horrifically large rain pants as well...eesh. I look huge because I'm bundled up in those and a fleece under my rain jacket.
                (My apologies to anyone from the UK, as our 'Saltspring Salute' in our pics is sort of the British finger sign for 'Up yours'...sorry! No offence meant!)
