I'm so happy to be home! It's so much easier to stay in my box at home than when travelling. I do have to say that I was pleased with myself and some (not all) of the choices I made while I was away.
I brought enough shakes, muffins, MR's and bars to last me all week. The two things that didn't quite work out were: 1) the room did not have a fridge. I could not store my muffins and the last 7 went bad. 2) no microwave; I had to eat Lasagna, Cheese Ravioli, and Mexican Enchiladas cold. Blech.... Not horrid, but I preferred to rush through dinner rather than enjoy them like I normally would.
Overall my mornings were fine. I would have a shake with coffee, then cereal a while later. That would tide me over until lunch. Lunch was out of the box...Most of my out of the box eating consisted of tuna or turkey sandwiches. In the evenings, I stuck to the MR's. I dined out twice. One night (Panera's) w/ my good friend Jennifer and the following day we went to her gym and worked out for about 2 1/2 hours! I managed to run twice while I was there and also did lots of power walking (4miles or more).
Overall, it was a good trip. It was challenging, but I'm not beating myself up for eating out of my box. I have come to learn that over the next few months I must start transitioning from HMR food to normal food and this process will require that I start making better choices if I want to keep the weight off.
My goals for next time would be:
1) more vegetarian "out of the box" choices.
2) zero no-PA days.
