There are things I need to remember no matter why I'm traveling:
I have to take care of myself first. If I allow a day spent in a different family dynamic to influence what I eat I am not taking care of myself. My food plan does not change because of the location, occasion or company. I know what I eat each day. I know how and where to get it and I know the amounts.
There is no excuse not to find a way to move each day, whether it is a walk around the neighborhood, using a hotel's fitness room or doing an indoor exercise routine in an apartment or home during a storm.
If anyone else has an issue with what I eat, when I eat or why I will not eat their food it is their issue, not mine. I can only be accountable for myself. Food prepared and offered because someone else has expectations that I will eat it is not my responsibility. If what and when I eat causes anyone else unhappiness it is not my side of the street to tend.
It is going to be a good week. I am bringing breakfast on the plane: banana, four hard boiled egg whites, one yolk (maybe) and a coconut-cashew Quest protein bar.
Safe, sane and healthy travels to everyone this holiday week!

We had to get off plane due to oxygen leak. That was a good idea. Want to keep breathing. Do now we are awaiting alternative transportation. Lugage still on original plane sitting at gate. I am so glad I have my breakfast with carry on. This is just the kind of thing that triggers junk eating. Planning ahead is better than planning to fail.
Take care of myself first - no excuses - their issue not mine.
Those are words to live by. Thank you. Rhonda
