Thanks again to everyone who shared tips on surviving a trip -- travelling seems to be a downfall for so many of us.
Taking a bag of snacks was a great idea - waiting triggers eating for me, so it was good to have something on hand. I became hungry as soon as I entered the airport! Having a non-fat latte right off the bat help immensley.
Treating myself to magazines was also a good idea. Amazing that I've always stopped short of spending on books and magazines, but spend so easily on food.
The friend I stayed with was also on a health-kick! Yay! My only instance of "falling-off the diet" was the sourdough bread she served at dinner - freshly baked just down the street. I've just started Phase 2, and had reintroduced fruit only. Even though bread is in Phase 2, this bread was the opposite of healthy! And I had more than one piece.
Still, all-in-all, this is one of the first trips I've had in my adult life that didn't leave me feeling bloated and uncomfortable by the end of it -too much of the wrong food and not enough activity aren't the best combinations. We didn't do a whole lot, but the way I ate over the two days really made a difference.
Learning all the time and grateful for the support from this forum!
