Nestled (read: crowded) in seat 15A on my AirTran flight from Florida to Ohio for my 20-year high class reunion (gosh, that's a long time), I'm thinking, like many of us do when we travel away from structure and routine: How will my diet and exercise fare on this whirlwind weekend trip? And does it really matter? I mean, we're talking two nights and barely two full days. How badly can I mess things up?

And then I happen upon a blurb in Go magazine (the airline publication crammed in the seat-back pocket in front of me) about this woman who stuffed 173 buffalo wings into her tiny body in a mere 12 minutes. One-hundred pounds this woman weighs. And she won the wing-eating contest last year at the National Buffalo Wing Festival in, none other than: Buffalo. OK, so if this gal can down a truckload of festival food in one sitting, I can surely survive an indulgence or two. I'm running on a mini-bag of AirTran gourmet pretzels at the moment -- I've clearly got calories coming to me.

I think I'm headed for my favorite Ohio salad -- I know, not very daring, is it? Usually a no-salad-dressing girl, though, I may douse my chicken salad this time. And I'm definitely eating the pita bread slices that come with the meal I haven't had in 10 years. It must be butter that makes this white bread taste so good.

So, no heaping piles of buffalo wings for me on this trip. Nothing else too crazy either. Nothing too rigid either. Just a little moderation on the road, starting with a second bag of gourmet pretzels. What ever happened to airplane meals? It's lunchtime, people!

Last week, I tuned into the Victoria's Secret fashion show on television. Wow! What fun they have with bras and panties! And watching the models strut up and down the runway with their enormous angel wings and teeny underthings made me want to do some crunches at ten o'clock that night.

Now, of course the girls are ten feet tall and they are quite trim. But they are not the anorexic looking waifs we see on other runways. In fact, these chicks are fairly curvy and mostly resemble women. NOT THE TYPICAL WOMAN, but they look womanly.

What part of the turkey do you eat? Me, I try to stick to the breast, and maybe a wing if I'm feeling crazy! I've never been a big fan of dark meat -- I just don't like the taste. I swear, the fact that it's healthier has no impact on that. But that doesn't hurt either. Want to know how healthy your favourite cut is? Here's a breakdown of what's healthiest on the bird:

• Breast with skin: 194 cal ,8 grams/fat, 29 grams/protein
  
• Breast w/o skin: 161cal, 4 grams/fat ,30 grams/protein
  
• Wing w/skin: 238cal, 13 grams/fat ,27 grams/protein
  
• Leg w/skin: 213cal, 11 grams/fat, 28 grams/protein
  
• Dark meat w/skin: 232cal, 13 grams/fat, 27 grams/protein
