i spent the weekend in carmel at a gorgeous place in hidden valley. managing my food was challenging because i had to eat at restaurants. also, exercising was not easy since there was no gym in sight or on campus. so this is how i managed this trip: i took some little tuna salad with cracker kits for lunch, 90 calorie snacks (quaker, i highly recommend them, they're good!) and some fullbars. these are bars that have only 60 calories and when you eat them and drink 1 glass of water, they make you feel full. the only meal i had to worry about was dinner. my trick at the restaurant was to stay away from the bread and butter unless i needed a serving of starch (1 slice of bread) and butter (1 teaspoon). another good choice was not ordering wine or dessert. so i maintained my weight this weekend and that makes me feel like i can be in control of what i eat!
