Since we are friends, I know this may seem a little wierd, but here goes...
I am flying from Chicago to Pittsburgh for an evening meeting today and a full day on Thursday. I will need to eat in airports; group meetings and street food. I'm packing some gluten free bread in a hard shell case.
I've never packed bread in a hard shell case before. I've packed guitars; cameras; video equipment; projectors; binoculors and more....now it's gluten free bread.
My body will thank me!

Yes, your body will thank you. It is a wise move.

From my experience, some gluten free breads do not need a hard shell (they are almost more solid than the black box flight recorder (which is usually day glow orange) - ).

If you get a chance (and the flight is catered - especially long cross country flight), specify that you require gluten free (celiac). A 1.5 hour flight in the US is rarely catered though (byproduct of low-cost competition).

There are many tips to eating well while travelling (and getting exercise).

@marthall - With views like that I don't think I'd ever be in the house. Just stunning.
@am_change - You're doing brill sweetie. I hope when the summer ends you'll still be able to stay this motivated!
@pribud - Happy Birthday for yesterday sweetie! Well done for planning ahead, hope you had a lovely day.

23rd Aug

Exercised?: Yes
Calories?: Yes.
Tracked?: Yes.

No workouts again , it's been a bit stressful here today, lol. Missed going for my run today as that helps clear my head, but just couldn't get the motivation to go - my body is willing, my head isn't.
Logging in early here as I won't get chance to do so later.
It'll soon be time for evening meal here, already logged it in and a nutrient snack for later in the evening just to get me past 1000 calories or MFP won't log it as you know.
Most people comfort eat when mentally exhausted, lol, I'm the opposite, I hardly eat at all.

Me and my daughter went on a short bike ride this afternoon, only for a hour but that was nice and took the woofies for a walk when I got back.

Total distance travelled: 10.6km (6.6 miles) - (excluding bike ride as forgot the odometer)
Total steps walked: 14,810
Total calories burned: 986
Total calories consumed: 1060

Among? Sorry @craigo3535 that was meant to say amazing! Predictive text!

Aug. 21 Yes x 3
Aug. 22 Yes x 3
Aug. 23...Nope. I rediscovered the candy that the Vice Principal keeps for us. She is a tall, thin, drink of water and can resist the candy, but the majority of us at work need to lose weight and can't resist. Of course, I can't blame MY actions on someone else's actions, but why o' why does she bring it in? How do y'all avoid temptations at work?
I've tried chewing gum, but that hasn't worked. Plus, I'm a bit of a thrill seeker, and I get a weird adrenaline rush from "stealing" some candy (even though it is there for us, I have the typical "caught in the cookie jar" response). Strange, but true.
@120maggie: I agree with you on your pet comment. My Tara (the golden retriever in my profile picture) can always bring a smile to my face with her antics! With her Daddy out of town for awhile, I'm her new BFF and I'm loving it!
@pribud: Happy Birthday yesterday! Excellent planning to save your passes for the occasion! I hope to do the same next month.

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? yes
Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? yes
Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? yes

@fitastic2day hugs. so sorry for the loss of your Aunt. Sounds like you are doing well avoiding emotional eating. Hang in there.
@jesscutedol you had us worried with yesterday's post. So glad that today is a much better day.

Zumba for a.m. work out. Walked
at lunch. Tracked and under calories.

Yes x3 today. Still not feeling well but had lots to do today so I had to be active. Went out for a walk this evening and it's got me good and worn out for an early bedtime. I tried to walk at a decent speed (I guess there's only so fast I can go in the city when having to slow down to cross roads and avoid traffic) but I can't help but laugh when I think I've been 'brisk' and then I remember the pace @craigo3154 keeps! Your 5km walk pace isn't much slower than my running! And I'm not dealing with hills either. Your speed impresses me!

@fitastic2day so sorry to hear about your aunt.

23-August-2017

Exercise: 60 minutes of circuit training. Average heart rate 159

Calories: I am under the goal

Tracking: yes, I tracked everything

Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Yes. Dog walk only today

Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Yes

Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Yes

Forgot to mention the weight loss was since the 2nd of August so only 3 weeks

Yes x3, but I found it very tough yesterday.

Kids had sleepovers and it was manic, plus there was lots of snacking and dinner was pizza which I found tough to fit into my macro's. I managed it but I spent too long staring at chocolate cake, ice cream, biscuits and chocolate and it made me grumpy. 1st time I've really felt that I've deprived myself, and at the same time being annoyed at myself for eating more than I'd planned.

On the plus side I did stay within my Calorie range (even if it was at the poor end) and I also went for my lunchtime walk as usual. My usual lunchtime walk required my new waterproof trousers, because it was absolutely torrential but it was the only time of the day I could walk, so walk I did.

Pass day #2
