Two topics for today:
1> I am traveling for a work conference for the next few days and I'm already thinking/planning how I will make wise food choices. Do you have any tips for me on sucessful eating while traveling? What about excercising?
2> With tax time here, I just wanted to remind any American self-pay bandsters (like me) out there: The US government recognizes weightloss surgery as a medical expense. So be sure to take that deduction!
PS: NSV, I found some awesome work slacks/pants in size 14 that fit!! And on the Clearance rack! YAY!
PSS: Lap Band Support Group tonight :)
Size 14 YAY!!!! Great NSV for sure
ReplyDeleteAre you going tonight to support group? I am going to shoot for the next one due to the surgery. If you do go tell Mark I'm not a slacker :)
Size 14, that is great!
ReplyDeleteAs for traveling, I was just away and I packed protein bars and shakes, and herbal tea packets. I still came away with a slight gain, but it came right off..
Have fun!
As for taxes, don't forget your mileage to/from all your doctor's appointments (and add in your dentist, etc. since this may be the only year you'll have enough to itemize medical expenses).
ReplyDeleteIf you are staying in a hotel, call ahead and tell them you need a mini fridge in your room for medical supplies - your food is your medicine. Stop by a store and pick up yogurt, etc. I love string cheese, it's easy to eat, has protein. Sliced deli meat.
ReplyDeleteShakes. Bring hard boiled eggs?
What do you eat at home?
I eat just about anything, just start with the protein.
Size 14 is such a great number. You should really be proud. Congratulations. I love the Business Travel sign. Makes me glad I don't have to travel for my job.
