Hello everyone, I've been away on a brilliant holiday, island hopping by boat. All catered and with a free bar open from 11 am to 10 pm it was all very tempting.
B: each day was full buffet of fruits, cereals, cold meats, at least 4 bread/pastry options and hot eggs, bacon etc. I kept to seeds I'd taken with me and yoghurt, followed by eggs and occasionally the bacon.
L: was a main dish no choice so if it was too carby I got a cheese salad instead.
D: was mainly a fish or a meat with veg. I skipped dessert and had a little cheese instead, however it was the same cheese everyday for the entire week.
My downfall was the alcohol. I went from one wine spritzer a night to 3 and often followed it with a brandy or 2. Had one cocktail on the last afternoon.
And then there were ice cream shops everywhere, so probably had 4 or 5 over the week.
There was also a biscuit barrel by the tea/coffee so I had too many of those too often.
I took with me a packet of milled seeds, a packet of almonds, a packet of protein crackers, 4 nut bars and 1 bar 85% chocolate. The almonds and chocolate came in handy when everyone else was enjoying dessert and I was bored with my cheese. And the crackers went well with sliced meats and cheese from the breakfast for the return journey and inevitable airport delays.
Thought I'd done OK, but have come back 3 lbs heavier.
Did the occasional finger prick, 6s and 7s.
