Currently, I am away from home, so I haven’t weighed in lately. I have started to enjoy weighing in daily, so it is weird to be away from home. It is also harder to eat healthy when I am not at home with my normal routine, but I have been walking an awful lot. Sure, there are many other ways to get around Toronto, but I have always been one to walk where I need to go when I don’t have access to a car. It has served me rather well, and will hopefully burn off some of the calories from that burger I had yesterday.
Usually, people gain weight when on trips, and I can see why. One of the things that was frustrating for me is that I don’t know Toronto well enough to know where I should eat, and of course all of the old standbys are junk: McDonalds, Burger King, etc…
Does Toronto even have grocery stores?
Hopefully, once I get to Kingston, I will get myself a little more on track. I will give myself some kudos though on this trip: no pop. I drank only water with my meals, and other than water, I had a Vitamin Water, which isn’t very healthy but tastes decent and at least might transfer some vitamin content to my body, unlike most juices these days.

My biggest tips for while travelling:
1. Bring protein bars. They’ll satisfy most cravings, keep you from being “STARVING” (and overeating as a result) and the calorie count is low enough that it won’t matter if you have one too many.
2. PLAN your meal before you leave/get to a restaurant. If you’re in your hotel and say to yourself “I’m going to have a soup/sandwich”, that’s what you’re likely to get. If you just walk until you find something, you’re almost guaranteed to find junk.
3. Water, water, water. But you’ve already done this, so great job!
