So I had to take a trip to Delaware... I know Delaware.... for business and I was dreading it. I had already lost 12 lbs but was afraid this trip away from the confines of my house stocked with healthy food and a gym right down the street would throw me off the wagon. First great sign was the gym at the hotel. Small, well cooled and tvs on all the machines so I could watch the Olympics :) ( nothing like really in shape guys and gals to motivate you while on the treadmill.) Because the ellipticals were really uncomfortable to use I found myself running on the treadmill for the first time ever and starting the c25k app. Best decision ever. I felt great after the first day and really enjoy jogging now. Next I found myself at dinner where the restaurant was expensive but had some of the best risotto and one of the best field green salads I had ever had. One night I just went to the grocery store down the street and used my food allowance to buy greens and fixings for a monster salad with tuna. Oh man was it good. On one of the last days of the trip I was in a conference room and someone mentioned they forgot to log their food on MFP... immediately everyone in the room mentioned they were using the app. Even the Verizon rep there swapping out phones said he had lost 80 lbs using MFP! So much support from the community where ever I go.

Even though this is a NSV there was still a SV. When I got back from the trip, I had lost 2 lbs! I felt awesome and the week that was going to be hell turned into an eye opener that I can do this anywhere!
