Although not everything always goes as planned, things usually go better when planned. When I plan out my day of what I'm eating I don't go overboard, and I don't reach for the first thing in the cupboard or stop at a fast-food place because I'm hungry and have nothing planned. Being prepared really helps. This weekend will be my biggest test. I have already bought some healthy snacks for my trip, turkey jerky, almonds, crystal light drink packets, and am planning to pop some popcorn that morning, stick it in a gallon bag, and bring fruit. I am preparing mentally by telling myself how well I've been doing, how much I want to be healthy and thin MORE than I want junk/fast food, and I just keep telling myself that I have the willpower to do it. I also have bought a "Dining Out Campanion" from Weight Watchers. It has many fast food places and how many "points" are in each food item. I also went online and looked up nutrition stats for places I know I will be going like Dunkin' Donuts. This really helps to put into perspective what I'm putting into my body. A donut = 350 calories. That's about 45 minutes on a stair stepper. Makes me think if I really want it. There are some things I will want to indulge in, since it's vacation and there are things that I won't be able to get here in Utah, but I'm hoping I can PLAN well and on the meals I'm treating myself, I will make sure I do good the rest of the day.
