Egg or Fly

I know its been a while since I wrote anything bu try as I did I couldn't seem to be able to access this site while abroad.  I did try to make good choices from what was available but 15days of eating out is different from being at home. I did have to drink less as the minibus only stopped at planned times and our whole group noticed that the food was salty. I gained some bloating and fluid weight after the flight over that stayed during the trip and took about 48 hours to disappear when we came home...but in the past it has taken me much longer to shed my flying bloat..so not too bad.  I was hoping to continue to lose about a pound a week but only managed to lose one pound overall. Lots of fresh fruits and vegetables to eat at most meals so that generally helped but sometimes there was no choice on what we ate and the only thing I could do was eat only a fairly small portion.

Since i wasn't here for the lowcarb week and only downloaded it when I returned I have been doing that this week.....I think between the chicken and turkey I have eaten I am ready to either lay an egg or fly away. I am looking forward to redoing some of the original days so that I can have some steak and mushrooms. When i first read about the salad with the chopped celery, pepper, cabbage and carrots I thought I wouldn't like it .....now I make almost all my salads that way. I enjoy the texture variations and find I need little dressing to enjoy the salad.

It's been a crazy busy week at work after being gone almost 3 weeks and I'm just catching up on some of the blogs......I'd like to do P-6 but I wonder if I will be able to.  Will decide after more info is available. part of me wishes I had know about P1/2...but I am glad to have joined in P3 and even if i can't do 6 I have gotten lots of good ideas to continue on with over the next year.  Lets see...chicken and salad and brown rice for dinner tonight....big surprise(lol)
