Planning Next Week

I had a lot of problems this week with being tired, and as a result did some uncontrolled eating, so I’m going to try to plan better.

I’m also taking my first trip as a diabetic — I need to go to Austin for a teacher workshop. I’m taking Friday to get there, staying there Friday night and Saturday night and coming back on Sunday. I’m staying at a suite type of hotel, which I’ve found is the best option. In the past, when staying at a regular type of hotel, I wake up to every noise. This hotel has the bedrooms on the side opposite of the corriders and that has helped in the past.

I’m also taking my food with me. I’ve got a really nice cooler that plugs into the truck or the wall in a hotel room and has worked in the past. That will help me stay on track better.

Went to the grocery store and picked up plenty of low-carb snack foods, cheese, mostly. I find I do better if there are more good choices in the house then poor.

Anyway, I’m going to focus on keeping stress low, and not getting too tired. Hope that solves the food problems.

    Kathleen,
    Taking a raod trip with diabetes is especially difficult with only fast food options along the way. Pack your own foods and plenty of options as you never can know ahead what you will feel like eating.
    Unsalted almonds are the best for convienence but relatively high fat. You mentioned cheese which is great but it is high fat also. Lauging Cow make a great low fat spreadable cheese that is great. Spread on Wassa Bread (crackers really), not while driving, OK?
    I’m currently in Cancun, Mexico so I write you up a report on eating out in another country when I get back.
    Enjoy your trip!
    Ken
