Hey Buddies, I need some suggestions. Here is the story:
My best friend and her husband are coming to my home next week on Wednesday - then we leave for Yellowstone and parts West on Friday.
I am happy and excited but...concerned about how I will manage food and exercise while away from home. I have the discipline to make choices and will do some hiking and DVDs (I will bring them with me), but worry I will not be able to find the foods I want in restaurants. I can only bring some things - protein powder, turkey jerky for snacks, tuna in dry packets instead of cans, and will make grocery store stops for fruit and veggies, but...
You see, my dear friend and her spouse are "chow hounds" - they love to eat and go to restaurants, and they invariably make high fat choices! This is challenging because it becomes their focus sometimes: "Oh, when are we eating? Where are we eating? Shall we look up a good place to go to eat on the internet?"
I love her and her husband BUT IT DRIVES ME EFFING NUTS! I do not focus on food in that way. I know I am responsible for my own healthy choices despite what anyone else does around me. And, in fact, last time we were together I managed because watching all that eating motivated me to STOP eating!
BUT, I am still concerned that nearly two weeks around this will beat down my resolve. SO, I NEED suggestions on how to do vacation travel and stay on a reasonable food plan because I will be damned if I gain weight after all the hard work to get rid of it! Breaking even is OK by me, but not indulging so much that I lose my focus!
Any good ideas?
