Hi Red, Wanda

Hey Red, I didn't realize you live to Toronto too. I'm here until Saturday. Tonight is my 'free' night with no committments.

Too, bad, I didn't realize you also live here.

Will check out the gym after this afternoon's meeting, BEFORE the cocktail reception from 5:00 - 6:00.

Breakfast this AM was muffins, scones, etc, sigh. I did have some protein powder in my room, then an apple, and unfortunately circumbed to a scone (3/4) of it. Lunch was good, chicken with batter on it, better than sandwiches, then a tart, with berries and custard flew into my mouth.

You're right ladies good thing there's a gym to reduce the 'damage' because there's going to be some.

I admire people who have willpower. I really try, but it's sooo hard when I'm surrounded by bad (meaning good) food. At home, I have nothing like that in the house, so really it's nothing I have to fight with myself about.

It would be nice to be able to order room service in the morning, because I refuse to pay $18 for an omlete. If I'd been thinking I would have brought Atkins bagels or something like that.

I have no transportation, but maybe I'll see if there's anything within walking distance and I can head out after the gym.

At any rate, I refuse to feel guilty, then I just eat more. I'm going to strive to reduce the damage and make sure if I do eat anything bad, it's something I really want, not some sugary crap that I stuff in my mouth because there's nothing else.
Wanda and Red, thanks for the moral support. I wish I could have met you, that would have been fun!

Thanks Red!

Tomorrow I'm heading out at lunch for a grocery store.

No, I won't stress, had a great workout tonight and a great dinner, and when I get home I'll get right back on track.

I have protein powder for the AM, and a tiny can of tuna.

Thanks Red!

Having fun in your city!

Found the gym at the hotel in Toronto.

Great place.

For some reason I felt unusually weak. I got to 65 lbs on the free bench and had to quit, 10 lbs less than normal. Same with shoulder presses, could barely lift 15 lbs 8 x on the last set. Dehydration from the airplane? It was very wierd.

I did 35 minutes of cardio on the eliptical trainer, hill workout, hard, and felt great, so go figure, who knows. I was really looking forward to the gym.

After the bread basket at dinner I'm really GLAD I went to the gym.

Damage control, damage control....
