I started Atkins last Thursday and went on a much-needed, mommy-only vacation on Saturday. It was difficult, but I was strong and stuck to the plan. I had a hard time figuring out what to bring with me on the plane all day and what to bring with me each day while visiting sites, family, etc. Here's what I brought in a little zippered cooler with me every day: 1. Water 2. Baked Chicken legs. (Bought the 24 pack from Costco for $5.00, threw them in a big ziplock bag with Papa's Seasoning from Costco, baked them for 1 hour @ 350. They made a terrific snack to have on hand and I brought along about 10 of them in the small cooler. Bonus: I left the rest of them with my husband and kids while I was gone and they loved snacking on them after school! I'll probably keep them on hand all the time now) When the chicken legs ran out, I bought turkey meat and brought that along each day. 3. Sliced cucumbers 4. String Cheese 5. Mini cheese rounds 6. Boiled eggs 7. Olives (about 5 a day) ziplock baggies full of ice to keep everything cold These 7 snack items got me through each day of my vacation. I packed them in my little portable cooler and they were great to grab whenever I got hungry. When I went out to eat, I had Buffalo Wings, hamburger patties, or baked fish as my meals. For my plane ride home, I didn't have time to bake more chicken legs so I went to the supermarket, bought a whole roasted chicken for $3.99 (I had them check the seasoning they use to make sure it didn't have any carbs or sugar). I pulled off the meat, put it in the good ol' ziplock baggies and put it in my cooler. I got home last night from my vacation and jumped on the scale this morning. It's been one week since I started last Thursday and I lost 5 lbs. Whether it's waterweight or real lbs. -- either way, I'm happy I didn't blow it! Have a wonderful weekend!! Maria Hello everyone,
If this has come through before, I apologize, my email’s been acting
up.
I started Atkins last Thursday and went on a much-needed, mommy-only
vacation on Saturday. It was difficult, but I was strong and stuck
to the plan. I had a hard time figuring out what to bring with me
on the plane all day and what to bring with me each day while
visiting sites, family, etc. Here’s what I brought in a little
zippered cooler with me every day:
1. Water
2. Baked Chicken legs. (Bought the 24 pack from Costco for $5.00,
threw them in a big ziplock bag with Papa’s Seasoning from Costco,
baked them for 1 hour @ 350. They made a terrific snack to have on
hand and I brought along about 10 of them in the small cooler.
Bonus: I left the rest of them with my husband and kids while I was
gone and they loved snacking on them after school! I’ll probably
keep them on hand all the time now) When the chicken legs ran out,
I bought turkey meat and brought that along each day.
3. Sliced cucumbers
4. String Cheese
5. Mini cheese rounds
6. Boiled eggs
7. Olives (about 5 a day)
ziplock baggies full of ice to keep everything cold
These 7 snack items got me through each day of my vacation. I
packed them in my little portable cooler and they were great to
grab whenever I got hungry. When I went out to eat, I had Buffalo
Wings, hamburger patties, or baked fish as my meals.
For my plane ride home, I didn’t have time to bake more chicken legs
so I went to the supermarket, bought a whole roasted chicken for
$3.99 (I had them check the seasoning they use to make sure it
didn’t have any carbs or sugar). I pulled off the meat, put it in
the good ol’ ziplock baggies and put it in my cooler.
I got home last night from my vacation and jumped on the scale this
morning. It’s been one week since I started last Thursday and I
lost 5 lbs. Whether it’s waterweight or real lbs. — either way,
I’m happy I didn’t blow it!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
