July 25, 2008 Off to SCOTLAND!!!

We’re off!! I can’t believe today has finally come!!! We drove up to Newark Airport to the Marriott Hotel, our home for the night. It’s very nice. We had a lovely dinner at the hotel restaurant. I had a yummy tomato salad with blue cheese, the lobster tail from Deb’s surf and turf, and a bit of a baked potato. I notice that my pants are a bit loose. Hope that won’t be a problem. There are only 2 pair of my pants that can be worn with a belt.

Mom was walking behind me earlier and commented about how “tiny” I am! Gotta love it! Mom was having a really hard time trying to get everything in a suitcase the size of a carryon. WHAT?!!? Is she crazy?? So Deb found a bigger one, and she and Mom packed it, put it in the car, and never said anything to Daddy! Even now, in the room, after trying to unlock that very suitcase, he hasn’t noticed!

I was 215.2 this morning. That’s nearly 5 pounds below my goal of 220 for Scotland!! I decided not to obsess about food on this trip. No counting protein and calories. No book. No logging food and activity into SparkPeople. I know how to do this on my own. I figure, my BMR is 1715, and I know I use at least 100 more on activity. So at 1800 calories, I should at least be able to maintain. So we shall see in 2 weeks how I do!
