It is so hard to eat right when I’m traveling; I go for convenience more the healthy. We took a family trip to Atlanta this past weekend our daughter is on a mission trip and needed to meet her team there. I planned ahead and packed food so that we could 1.) save money & 2.) have good food choices instead of what fast food we found along the way. I made taco meat, put it in the crock pot and let that simmer while we drove the first half of the day, lunch was taco salad and fruit. I made fresh bread sliced it before we left and for supper we had turkey sandwiches & macaroni salad; we figured we saved about $50 by doing this. It was the next day that it seemed to all fall apart for me. We went to a Waffle House for breakfast and ate sausage gravy w/ biscuits and had a side of hash browns. When lunch came around I wasn’t hungry and since it was my birthday I was holding out for something better that a sandwich. After meeting up with our daughters mission team we went back to the hotel I ate a piece of fruit and waited until time to go to dinner.
Went to a restaurant we found on line with high reviews. I had steak, grilled shrimp, baked potato, sour dough bread and salad. Oh so good, oh so full. My son had told the hostess that it was my birthday and when we were ready to go just waiting for the bill out comes the waiter with this huge piece of chocolate cake. And guess what, we ate it also (not all of it).
The next morning I fixed deviled eggs, reheated our left over steak, put out the bread and divided the rest of the cake; that was breakfast. To make a long menu short 5 Guys burgers & fries for lunch, ice cream and many other less health food choices.
Do I give up no? I do 30 day dares so that I have small goals to reach for and I can see my start/finish line easily. I just pick up where I was and make better choices the next day.
Only those who dare to fail greatly can achieve greatly. Robert F Kennedy
