normally this type of trip would cause me to do at least one, but most likely two... of two things:
1) freak out and stress about how all the food there was going to make me fat
2) eventually given in and allow myself a "cheat day"--which would ultimately turn into a "binge" day.
and neither happened!!
DH and i looked online and found out that most of the restaurants served garden salads and grilled chicken type things. so right from the get-go, i knew i had some good choices available. because we were going to be with a fairly large group, however, and had no control over where we ultimately decided to eat-- we also packed a soft lunch cooler with some protein powder mix, some fruit and lowfat granola bars. i went in strong and confident!
as it turned out, the place that the group decided to go for lunch had salad, fresh dill pickles, and watermelon but no lean protein. i ate the salad, fruit and pickle... an hour or so later, DH and i sought out our cooler and some cups of water to mix our shakes. it was perfect!
later on the way home, we snacked on pears and granola bars.
and finally for dinner, i ate a large salad with albacore tuna mixed with spicy brown mustard and salsa. it was AMAZING and i feel so good for having survived a social event without sacrificing my personal goals!
