Rosinante - you changed your name! Well done for doing so well while you were away. Yes hoping to avoid disasters this year! I'm not planning on depriving myself but I am planning on trying to walk as much as possible and not eat too many calories.
TOuchmytoes - my carbs are fairly low but we're going to Luxembourg so lots of fresh bread, croissants and they have the yummiest ice cream ever there so will be increasing carbs a lot while away! Normally I'd eat 2 croissants though with lots of butter and job so just going to eat one with a little jam instead. I like fresh bread,etc. too much. They also had these really nice pastries with custard in last year so again going to have some but maybe share it with my daughter so I just have half. I don't drink much alcohol anyway so wont' be having any while away. Will be drinking mainly water, coffee with breakfast and probably options hot chocolate at bedtime.
Nicki - costa del back garden and day trips can still have a lot of temptations. Yes we really need to be organised to avoid getting junk food whether we stay at home or go on holiday. We'll be packing a packed lunch everyday for day trips while we're away to avoid temptation of other food. We need to anyway as we're camping and have a very tight budget.
Cat - how did you do? We're camping so no gym though putting the tent up and down twice is a bit of a workout
My plan so far is lots of walking (though we always do anyway it will take more effort the way my ankle is now, lots of water, meat and salad or similar for our evening meal most nights (made at campsite), probably fresh bread and cheese or ham with fruit and maybe salad for lunch, croissant (just 1) or cereal for breakfast and most days an ice cream in the afternoon - an I will be watching portion sizes (no binges on sausages like last year
) and once we're back in England and camping here I'll be going back to less carbs as soon as possible (to eat like that in Luxembourg would be too expensive) so I'm completely back on plan by the time we're home.
Hoping it works but we will be having 2 cooked breakfasts (one on the ferry, one in a hotel the night we're back), probably 1 mcdonalds (I will just have a chicken burger and pinch a few fries form someone) while we're waiting for the ferry) on the way home and one visit to the chippy (will probably share the chips) back in England! But at least we've planned it so I can work around it all and be as healthy as possible the rest of the time
It' s not too bad for 2.5 weeks away for us but the thought of all that fatty food turns my stomach these days!
Holidays
