You should be really proud of how well you handled your food choices while
traveling.


Thanks jayjay. I think I've done a good job so far. I had additional
servings of fruit and veggies, more than I was "supposed" to have, but I
feel ok about it because in each case I was truly hungry. There is a nice
basket of fruit available here today and there was a nice raw veggie tray at
lunch so I've been able to pick a few things to munch through the afternoon
and fill up on fiber before the 3 hour drive home later.

I'm not as stressed out about the next 2 trips I have next month. I found
ways to exercise and I was willing to go through the effort to pack a cooler
and find a grocery store when I got here. This class meets again in a month
and I will be doing my Christmas shopping

LOL. I've had similar stuff happen to me. How about when you tell
people
you're a vegetarian and they say "So do you eat fish?" Since when did
fish
grow on plants? )



Well, I have met many people who say they are vegetarians, but will eat
fish, drink milk, and eat eggs. I thought there were different
levels/types of vegetarianism.

They may call themselves vegetarians, but if they eat fish, (a type of
meat), they are not vegetarians. If they eat eggs, they're Ovo-vegetarians,
if they eat dairy, they're Lacto-vegetarians, and if they eat both eggs and
dairy, they're Lacto-Ovo vegetarians.

I was a vegetarian (lacto-ovo) for three years. I remember visiting the
mid-west (southern Indiana) and they onyl vegetables I could find at
restaurants, other than iceburg lettuce salads (yuk!!!!!) were deep-fried.
Needless to say, I didn't eat much during that trip.
