Sunday morning I weighed in at 289.4, which puts me down 9.4 lbs, with 36.6 lbs to go. I weighed in not on my scale, but a scale at an Anytime fitness, 100 miles away from home. This brings me to a topic I planned don talking about later: what to do when you're away from all your control areas!
Due to an unexpected family emergency, I had to leave town in a moments notice, no food cooked or packed, and was gone for 3 full days and nights. Life happens. You can plan and plan as much as possible, but things come up. When you're inevitably going to be out of town, you just need to keep a few things in mind.
1. Eating out: Happens a lot. You don't have a kitchen usually, you're out with other people, and out of your element. Just mitigate the damage as best as possible. Make smart choices, stay away from alcohol and you'll be fine. We ended up at a chili's, and I had steamed broccoli, grilled chicken, and 1/4 rack of ribs. not too bad.
2. Pack snacks. I packed 4 quest bars, beef jerky, and 3 bottles of whole green powder. Made some quick meals.
3. Workout. You can always do body weight exercises, run outside, walk, stretch, etc You don't need a gym.
4. Let people know you're on a diet. Generally most people will understand, try and support you in a weird awkward way, and move on with life. It takes the pressure off of having a drink, or getting that deep fried yummy piece of food with your friends.
* also no pictures for week 2. Didn't have a camera or time :(
