Thanks Elena - your kind words really made me feel better about my

measurements. And made me really glad that I got online. I think that

will be how I handle potential binging moments now.

I do tae-bo about 3 times per week, occasionally a day less, sometimes

a day more, but usually 3 times. I mostly do the Basic tapes and have

the Studio Basic, BL1, BL2 and have borrowed my mom's Basic

(BL3 is on it's way!!). I also have the Studio Advanced and borrowed

the Advanced. I have only been able to get through the Advanced

tapes recently, so I started to add them in a few weeks ago. At first

it was once a week, but I am hoping to now make it at least twice a

week on Advanced and 2 - 3 times a week still on Basic. Plus, I had

some bad eating last month, so I am trying to do better again. I saw

such great results at first when I was tae-boing 4-5 days per week. I

just have to get back to that.

I am a little worried because I have an 8-day business trip coming up -

and that is always tough for eating (restaurant food) and for alcohol.

I am not much of a drinker, but at trade shows, we always have a few

nights of major drinking and dancing. I am getting better at ordering

better food choices and not getting dessert even when everyone else is,

but it's still a challenge. I will just try to be as good as possible

and then make up for it when I get home. I am taking my tae-bo book

with me, as well as a cassette recorder with an audio tape of one of

the workouts. I could not go 8 days without tae-bo!!!

behind right now! Thanks - I bet all that floorwork will really get my

metabolism back in gear!! --G

you. That's a great idea. I have one suggestion for the trip. My husband

travels a lot and he tries to keep the restaurant eating to a minimum (it's hard

because one of the points of the conferences is to socialize and network and

that is usually done at meals) by immediately going to a grocery store and

picking up fruit and cereal and powdered milk (if there is no refrigerator in

his hotel room), sandwich stuff, and other things (if there is a refrigerator)

for meals in his room.

LOL!!!!! The side of a wall, huh?! That gave me a good laugh!! I am

glad you have such a good relationship with your mom - I think of my

mom as my best friend too, so I hope that when I have children I can

have that same kind of relationship with them. --G

Hi Elena,

I got the audio cassette idea from this list a few months ago, so I am

psyched about trying it out. Thanks for the suggestions on the

restaurant eating. Unfortunately, it will be next to impossible for me

to try out these ideas on this trip.

Our trade shows are brutal. I usually try to get a healthy breakfast in

the morning (a healthy option from room service), and then I am on my

feet in our trade show booth for the next 10 hours. I get an hour to

run to the cafeteria or somewhere closeby for lunch (our hotel is 5

blocks away, so that's not an option to go back to my room).

After the show I am obligated to attend dinners, etc. with the large

group of people attending from our company. Since I am in charge of our

show booth, it is difficult to get out of dinners - I typically can get

out of one night during the week. Usually I have about a half hour or

hour to change before heading out to dinner once the show is over. On a

good night, I am back in my room by 10 to get some sleep before doing

it all over again the next day.

I will just have to eat lighter menu options, skip dessert and the

typical drinks. I will try to limit myself to 2 nights with a few

glasses of wine, and water the rest of the time. One other person in

our group is watching what she eats, so she and I will have to be each

other's support. I will have my laptop, so if I get a free moment, I

will be logging on to read all the encouragement on this list. Thank

goodness I only have two major shows each year, and that my other

events are more flexible!! Thanks again for all your helpful

suggestions - I will try them out on another trip. --G
