[QUOTE="Steve50, post: 862218, member: 174164"] Hi B I took the ready made Slimfast with me. If I went for 3 days, I would take 6. I also took the Slimfast bars with me - thinking that if the drinks got warm, I'd have the bars instead. My strategy was then to find a market and get a ready made side salad to have in the evening. However, when I went for the salad, invariably, I could also have bought the Slimfast. Most high streets have a Boots, Pundland, or SuperDrug - even Waitrose stock them. And I was usually near a high street. That would have saved on the luggage. I deliver training - so mostly when I am away for work it is in a hotel and lunch is catered. I did not want to 'carb out' of course (why do hotels only seem to know how to make sandwiches for large groups?) so I would go somewhere quite and have my shake. I didn't want to answer questions about why I was having a shake etc..... It was odd - but doable. In the evening I would go for a walk, pick up the salad - go back to my room and distract myself with work or TV. On a good night a football match would be on. I drank heaps of water - so I was not really able to wander too far anyway. Ordinarily I would have been a lot more sociable - I would have had lunch with the groups - gone into the restaurant int eh evening and had a big steak and chips and loads of red wine. But do I miss it? Not really. The steak - yes - but he wine, not so much. My tolerance for alcohol has lowered. I feel I have a clearer and sharper mind. I feel fitter and I'm getting a lot more work done while I'm away - so I can spend more time with my family when I get home. So - in short (sorry I don't do 'short' very well) I took the ready made Slimfast shakes with me. Let us know how you manage on the NP while you are away. [/QUOTE]
