This week I have to travel for work. I'm going to Costa Rica, which sounds pretty cool, right? Well, to be honest, I don't really get to do any sightseeing. I fly in on Monday, work work, work, work, and then fly out again on Friday. Our hotel has a shuttle that drops us off at work in the morning and picks us up, so I don't even rent a car. Not that I mind that because driving there is CRAZY. Seriously, I have witnessed so many accidents when I've been there. There are a ton of motorcyclists and they weave in and out of traffic and most of the accidents I see involve a motorcyle and a car. Usually, the car has won. The other thing about driving there is that people steal the manhole covers out of the street so you can be driving along and all of a suddent there is this big gaping hole. I've never actually gotten caught in one, but you can usually tell when one is coming p becuase the drivers in front of you swerve really fast, so other drivers will just usually do what the car in front of them does.
I am reallly worried about my diet when I am down there. Not so much about breakfast and dinner because I am bringing my shakes, but mainly about dinner. And drinks. I am going down with a few people from work, so there is always dinner out somewhere and wine (my nemesis LOL). The thing is, most of the restaurants serve really rich food covered in sauces or some kind of something melted on it. Most of the wait staff speaks english...to an extent. So you're good as long as you don't deviate from the menu. Then it's kind of like you order at your own risk.
Oh well, I hope I'm worrying for nothing...I'm sure I'll be fine. I just want to make sure I don't blow my diet. So there will be no weigh ins for me next week, but my hotel has wireless, so I will probably post an update.
Hope things are going well. And even if they aren't...well, you'll just jump right back on the horse once you get back home.
ReplyDeleteAnd hi! Nice to "meet" you! :)
What types of shakes do you drink? I am always looking for "travel food" ideas. :)
ReplyDeleteAshley, I am going to Medical Weight Loss Clinic and I use their shakes. They are in powder form and my only complaint is they are a little hard to mix - if you don't have a mixer. I mix the mocha flavor in with my coffee....YUM! It's like a yummy coffee dring.
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine is doing Metabolic Reset shakes and she said they are good and last year she lost 38 pounds on them!
How are you enjoying MWLC?
ReplyDeleteand I just died laughing after reading about what your mother in law thought..
hahaha
Good luck!
Hi Amary, I really like MWLC. It works for me because I am really busy at work and I found that before I was doing it, I would always grab the wrong quick things to eat.
ReplyDeleteI am on the Jump Start program, so I do four shakes per day (they each have like 15 grams of protein). I mix the mocha with coffee and it's like a yummy coffee drink :) And, I have one sensible meal a day. I also take their "Plus Pills", which are supposed to help suppress your appetite, but they don't make you jittery.
