I am off to Goa at the end of Feb for 2 weeks - my freind is putting on a music festival out there and I'm going over to document it with my camera and have a lazy slouch on the beach for a bit...Would love to go out for longer and do the trails, been a lifelong dream, but there is so much going on in my life that I just can't take 6 months away at the min to do it...so happy with 2 weeks though!
I think one of the things worrying me is that everything WILL be vegan (or most of it) - I'm used to NOT being able to eat anything (did a festival in Poland a few years back, lived off wild blueberries and vodka for 6 days...lost a LOT of weight, but had a good time!) but India will be full of all the sorts of food I like...most of it will be good but I am a recovering Bread addict (naan, chappati, brown bread, rolls you name it!) and am worried i will slip into old habits of eating bread type stuff with every meal. Will have to work on that one as I go along
How did your weight loss/gain go when you went before? I'm very active and will be exercising for hours each day (doing photography, walking, swimming, dancing etc) and when I used to live out in SE asia I didn't really care much for 3 meals a day so will be eating less often...(I used to get up and eat 'breakfast' at about midday which would be curry, then have dinner about 7-8ish which was more currry, with fruit inbetween - did me fine)
I am slowly beginning to think I may even lose, but not be able to follow the plan at all. I will log what i'm eating and originally thought the weight would pile on judging by others who went on holiday in group, but thinking about it I don't do 'beach' holidays lying about sunbathing...I'll be on the move. Plus I'm usually a cider drinker and they won't have much of that out there thankfully so I'll be drinking local beers which are nice, but too gassy for me to do any real damage with.
