I flew to Michigan on Sunday to see my sister
Ruth. What should have been a quick
flight with a layover in Chicago turned into an all day ordeal that ended up
with me in Detroit 14 hours after I left the house and a bag still in
Chicago. It was not the smoothest of
travel days. I was prepared though, and
had packed enough food to get me through the day. So in spite of spending 12 hours in planes
and airports, I did not eat off program at all.
The only slightly off program food that I ate was on Monday at the
Detroit airport. We didn’t have time to
eat dinner before I got to the airport so I ate a grilled chicken breast with a
sides of broccoli and green beans. The
chicken breast had a sauce made with whole butter and balsamic vinegar. At home, I clarify my butter to remove milk
solids. I scraped off as much as the
sauce as possible, but I still have a little bit of a cranky gut this morning. My body really doesn’t like milk.
The best news of all is that I had a crazy, two
day quick trip to Michigan, and I lost two-tenths of a pound. In the past, a trip like this would have been
a perfect excuse to eat sweet treats like muffins, cookies, and ice cream. I didn’t even think about eating those things
on this trip. Yeah!!!
