My Italy Trip

I just got back from a weel long trip to Tuscany with my family. I must say I did really well on vacation and even lost two pounds. I ate a lot of Eggplan Parmigana and Caprese salads. A lot of the restaurants we went to had only beef, pasta and Pizza on the menu. In the beginning my dinner was basically meat because I knew I could eat that.

I found out I could eat the Pizza because it was very thin and it did not get stuck in my throat. However I only had that one night, and then I only had two slices.

I tried a little bit of spaghetti but because it is impossible to chew it got stuck and came back up. So I stayed off Pasta and had Veal that night. Still no chicken or fish at these places. At one place they had Octopus but there was no way I was eating that.

I did have pasta one night, it was bowtie pasta and I was able to completly chew it and swallow it with no problem.

I had trouble with Salad on the trip so I did not eat any. My whle family had Gelato but I stayed true to my process and did not. That is not to say I did not have a cookie here or there.

I am patting myself on the back because I did well in a place that did not have a lot of choices and was still able to lose weight. Now I just need to keep the momentum going.

BRAVO!! That's fantastic. Vacation can be so hard...the head trip about "I should be able to." and then you would only pay later...good you didn't fall into that trap! You've got to feel good about making such good choices! Congrats!

Good for you, I've been thinking about you and how you were doing.
Ann and I started a boot camp last night. I tell you that girls has me working my butt off, really....
Good for you for being able to lose while on vacation.

that is awesome.  See...you can learn a new trick every now and then.  Just shows how much you are aware of your tool.  Isn't it amazing to eat like a normal person and enjoy yourself.  Give yourself a huge pat on the back.  You deserve it.
