In just a few days, my family and I will be going to Florida on vacation. We are going with another family, and we will be gone for over a week. I am so excited, but I am also dreading it. How am I going to stay on plan for vacation??
Has anyone ever gone on vacation and stayed on plan? Anyone?? Anyone?????? I am planning on staying on plan....maybe not to the letter, but I am not going crazy and gaining 10 pounds!
Here are some things that I am planning (you do have to be prepared for anything!). If ANYONE has any suggestions or helpful hints, I would LOVE to hear them!! Here is what I have so far:
1. On my last MF order, I got a bunch of bars! I usually have at least one a day, but I thought having a bunch of bars would be helpful when we are out an about! I also have some cereal and pretzels....things that do not have to be prepared at all to make it as easy as possible. Every morning I have hot cocoa with coffee....I have that with some disposable travel cups so I don't have to worry about losing my mugs!! Or cleaning it out! I am hoping to have coffee in the condo, but just in case, I got some packets of instant coffee. I know....instant? But it is better than no coffee at all! So I am planning on bringing enough food so that I only have to worry about one meal a day.
2. I bought a new purse. Haha! I know that is not essential to staying on plan, but Vera Bradley was having a 50% off sale, and I found a perfect cross body with zippers and pockets. I will be able to keep my MF separate from the tickets, wallet, sunscreen, etc. I figured if it would help me, why not!
3. We are driving to Florida, so we will be in the car for over 24 hours. Yea. Should be good times. Anyway, we planned out some snacks, lunches, etc. so that we do not have to stop at a McDonalds for each meal. I know that I will not be able to get in all of my water when we are driving (my bladder is about the size of a can of diet coke!), but we will have water bottles to drink on the way! I also bought some sugar free gum for myself....when I am feeling tempted, I can chew on a piece of gum!!
4. Since we will be at Universal Studios for three days, I looked up some of the food choices so I can plan out the best places to get my lean and green each day.
I know this is going to be hard. But so is being overweight. I know that I can do this.
There is one more thing I am planning on doing. I probably will not be able to blog that much, but I will be on Facebook. I am starting a new private group called, Finding Our Fit With TSFL. I know that I am not the only person who struggles to stay on plan and change my lifestyle. We can help each other out, share new recipes, ask/give suggestions, and work on reaching optimal health together! When you get a chance, ask for an invite. I will keep it private so no one but those in the group will see your posts.
Hope to see you there! In the mean time, if you have been on vacation and have helpful hints, I know I would love to hear them!!! Have a great day everyone.....and stay on plan! :)
