Default Going away on a holiday

Dear All,

We're leaving later today for our holiday (Adriatic - Dalmatian islands),
and I still have some last minute packing to do.
I won't be having a computer access, but I just packed my food log so that I
can write down what I ate & drank.

My plans for this holiday:
- I'm not planning to have a very relaxed attitude towards eating (that
would be my downfall), but - if I do try something that's "local" or "new",
I plan to split portions. I like splitting portions - I don't feel deprived
yet stay within my carb budget;
- I will up the allowed carb intake to 50 grams of carbs/day - I expect I
will be more active physically, so I think that +10 grams of carbs won't
affect me much (I haven't been able to bring the average carb intake down to
40 grams/day this last week, anyway)
- I will not nibble and I will stay away from unhealthy snacks;
- I will drink plenty of water;
- I will write down daily what's been going on food- and exercise-wise.

As for the WEEK 5 UPDATE:
weight: 84 kg (cca 184.8 lbs), which means that:
- I lost 1 kg in a week (cca 2.2 lbs), &
- I lost 5 kg in 5 weeks (cca 11 lbs)
- I reached my lower mini-goal :-))

Measurements:
- chest: 102 cm (lost 5 cm altogether)
- waist: 83 cm (lost 1 cm / lost 5 cm altogether)
- belly button: 93 cm (lost 10.5 cm altogether)
- hips: 115 cm (lost 3 cm altogether)
- thigh: 61.5 cm (lost 0.5 cm / lost 2.5 cm altogether)
- calf: 39 cm (lost 2 cm altogether).

According to Fitday, the average daily carb intake for week 5 was = 64
grams* (total 1197 calories)
(* 24 grams of carbs higher than recommended)
According to Fitday, the average number of calories burned daily was = 221
calories/day.

BMI = 33.1 / 31.3 (down 0.4% from last week, & 1.8% altogether)
BF% = 31.1 / 28% (*up* 2.2% from last week, & down 3.1% altogether)
*I know now why the number is higher - it depends on the level of
activity/week.

Exercise during the week 5:
- walking: 3.6 days/6

New mini-goal: 79 to 78 kg (cca 173.8 to 171.6 lbs) by October 11th (DD
has her 1st birthday the following day!), so I'm hoping to lose 5-6 kg in
cca 7 weeks.

That's it. See you all next Sunday :-)

Have a great time Elly. You have some lovely places to go on holiday
without travelling too far.
Great on the progress, too.
