We all know working away from home can be tough on the diet because it's so easy to get carried away when you have an expense account. As hard as I try sometimes, that boarding announcement on the flight home can be the death knell of a week spent trying to eat right and working out away from home.

Maybe it's just my greedy butt, but does anyone else here skip the upgrade to first class on a meal flight just to avoid the unneeded calories? By the time you finish an inflight meal, you're well over 1500 calories and drunk off cheap booze.

I know this is funny, but I've set a goal of losing 30lbs this year. As I've been downgraded to PLT, no more free upgrades and I've decided to save my upgrade stickers and see coach as diet tool.

.... as long as the flight is under 2 hours.
