upcoming trip

[ssgswife]

So, on Wednesday I'll be going on a mini-vacation with my daughters and my mom. We're driving down to Fort Lauderdale to see my grandmother and then up to Tampa to go to Busch Gardens. I'm preparing food-wise to be covered... Tuesday is my last day of strict induction but because there's going to be WAY too many opportunities for food binging on this trip, I'm going to try to stay as close to induction acceptable foods after Tuesday as possible. I'm preparing pepperoni and cheese chips for the drives (I love to snack when I'm driving) and have purchased the atkins shakes (2 carbs) for two mornings breakfasts (staying at a hotel where all they have is Continental breakfast.) I'm a little worried about the food at my grandmother's house because her Haitian cook makes some insane food. My grandmother doesn't believe in diets, or restricting food, calories, etc because she's always been very thin. I'm going to do the best I can. Then of course there's Busch Gardens.... wow...foooooood...lots of foooooood. But I've done my research and found which park restaurants/food stands will be safe for me (salads, meat) and am going to try my hardest not to have funnel cake.... I love funnel cake. Anyone have any other suggestions/advice on staying on track for this trip? I'm firmly set on my goal and my willpower is strong... but funnelcake is whispering in my ear already...LOL

Funnel cake is not low carb!! Just think of how GREAT you are gonna feel when you come back from this vacation and can say:

"I stayed legal on vacation!!"

You can do it!

Re: upcoming trip

Who needs funnel cake when you have BEEF JERKY!!! ;-P

Just think about how upset and annoyed with yourself you will be if you come back from vacation and have GAINED WEIGHT!! Oh no, not that! But yes!!! That will be your fate if you have funnel cake. Say no to funnel cake! No self-imposed guilt trip!

Re: upcoming trip

Funnel cakes at Busch gardens are not filled with cream. THey are filled with snot. Also, cat litter is used in the batter........

Re: upcoming trip

The Funnel Cake Devil is currently acting the role of "The Birthday Cake Devil" It's such a pretty cake... purple icing...sprinkles.... driving me crazy. Everytime I think about eating it, I go in the bathroom, take all my clothes off and stand in front of the mirror.... pretty much takes away the desire for cake...LOL

Re: upcoming trip

Good idea!

Back away from the cake! And by the time you get this it will be the next morning so dont snack on the leftovers for breakfast either! LOL

Re: upcoming trip
