1 WeeK MaRk!

[godsbeloved79]

Yes I made it through a whole week and I'm proud of it. It took me so long to get back on track. I promised myself that I wouldn't allow what happened before to happen again. I just got the approval from my boss to travel for the Labor Day weekend to Savannah GA. We will leave on Friday morning and return Tuesday evening. It is an 8 hour drive and I want to have legal foods handy in the car to snack on. Normally when we go on trips, it's the chips, sodas, and junk food that we pack. I don't want to travel with the mindset that I will get back on track will I return. Been there, done that and tired of it! Please don't say pork rinds, as I'm tired of them and I need more variety. I did have a nice dilled pickle over the weekend, and it was yummy. Your support is truly appreciated.

Congrats on the 1 week! It's seems you have the right frame of mind going in to this trip. Good for you! Stay strong. I guess the only answer would be to pack a cooler full of good stuff like...chicken salad, olives, cheese cubes and celery sticks!

Many thanks. Sounds like a PLaN!

How about beef sticks w/ string cheese?

Cheese crackers for nibbles and flax crackers to spread cream cheese on or use with dips.
Have you got a cooler you can take? Those plugin car ones are good.
If not then fill some bottles of water to a bit below the top and freeze them beforehand. With them in amongst your food it will keep cool and as the ice melts you will have chilled water to drink too!

Thanks for the advice. I'm taking a small cooler for water and all my other low carb treats.
Mainly I'll be taking pork rinds, cheese cubes, and nuts. I'm so ready to go!

Just a heads up if you are trying to do a clean induction...no nuts allowed. How about Slimjims?

Induction is over August 29th for me, we leave on September 2nd. SO the nuts should be fine. Thanks again!

Well that is good news then. Though I am confused because I thought we didn't introduce nuts until our 3rd or 4th rung?? Okay...am off to reread DANDR again...I think I am getting everything mixed up.
Have a great trip. You will do great as you have a plan!

If you have cooler, hard boiled eggs, a small jar of mayo, cold grilled chicken, sliced roast beef, lettuce and other veggies will all travel nicely. Just remember to bring paper plates and forks and knives with you.
