HUGE challenge coming my way

Tonight: Dinner out with friends

Tomorrow: We leave for San Diego where we will spend the weekend, but then I will be there through Wednesday for a conference.

Challenge....not creep back into the 150s.

I have been holding at 148 every day...I do NOT NOT NOT want to go back up. There will be no food scale, no measuring cups, no internet to log into SparkPeople every day.

There will be a day at the zoo (walking!) and a gym at the hotel (hopefully....or I start running) plus I have never been to San Diego so I just want to walk around and see the place.

But I do view this as a test....have the changes I have been integrating really taken hold? Can I control my food intake when I don't have a visible calorie count?

I accpet this challenge, and hope to come out with flying colors!

I myself would see it as difficult, since it sounds like a "vacation" kind of weekend (and we all know that vacation calories don't count, right?).

But even though it's tricky, if you have the willpower and a balanced mindset, I bet you'll impress yourself! Plus, I'm sure you'll have plenty of other fun weekends with your trip to DC and the holidays coming up ... if you want to be fit and train for that Ironman, there's no time like the present to start practicing discipline.

Try to exercise every day, try to eat healthy breakfasts and lunches and moderately enjoy your dinners, drink lots of water, intersperse your glasses of wine with water, etc. You know your strategies and portion sizes - you can do it!
