@Fatroll travel diet – approved
As the scale and tracker indicate, my trip to Peru was in fact beneficial to my weight loss goals. Before I left, I wrote a piece outlining the difficulties of dieting while traveling.
And, truth be told, I had my share of difficulties. But, overall, this trip was an exception. My food intake and habits were and are still the same. I still ate carbs (actually a TON of carbs), pastries, ice cream etc. . The biggest difference – the walking. We hiked or walked almost everywhere. And, rarely did we sit around twiddling our thumbs.
Sure, I’ve lost 8 lbs in 7 weeks, but this is also a healthy amount per week. It just seems like a lot since I haven’t been in town. The challenge will be to maintain this weight and to continue losing weight every week. Yes, let’s hope that I don’t suffer the freshman 15 part II.
I’m also pretty sure a lot of the loss is muscle related. Ask me to run more than a mile, and I might die. But I’m only four pounds from my personal goal and with seven weeks left, I better reach that goal. I may not win the challenge, but I’m definitely pleased with the outcome thus far.
