It helps with bone strength and soemthing else, I just can't remember. When I went to China, I was scared about what to eat, so I was going to pack a jar of peanut butter, some honey, and a loaf of bread. I just didn't get there. But the peanut butter is great on apples, bananas, chocolate--wait--that wasn't supposed to be there...oops...:) I've also heard that peanut butter and bananas go well between two (whole wheat) tortillas. Just a suggestion. Have a great trip!Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381650902353197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577193518845602183.post-28638394415638321002008-12-08T11:28:00.000-07:002008-12-08T11:28:00.000-07:00Go ahead and order the salad, Sara.

I'm not sure it's safe to eat salad there (it's not in Egypt), but there's usually a veggie platter option, so I'll get that.<BR/><BR/>Wendi and Deb, I'm not worrying so much as trying to think ahead be as mentally ready as I can. I am such an all-or-nothing person that I want to have my moderation mindset already in place. Though you're right, Deb, that we won't be lying about the whole time.

My general objective on vacation is to not GAIN weight. If that's a success, I feel good. Oh, and chew gum...gum is always good, saves you from the driving munchies (not to mention ear popping).Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12604309459895194032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577193518845602183.post-19885241289559522792008-12-08T09:04:00.000-07:002008-12-08T09:04:00.000-07:00I'm thinking that you worry WAY too much whilst st...I'm thinking that you worry WAY too much whilst still being very happy for you and your opportunity to get away. That's the best I can do. :) Seriously, have a good time--there will be plenty of time left in the contest and in your life to worry about diet and exercise.

Or you can check with the front desk and ask for their advice. <BR/><BR/>On the food: Wherever I go, I order a salad no matter what. I fill up on that first, then sample all the other goodies that are available. If I'm going someplace known for their cuisine (like seafood, deserts, etc.)I know I'm going to splurge and try it, so I fill up on veggies first so that a few bites of the less-healthy foods will satisfy me. <BR/><BR/>And even if I don't have the time/facilities to get my heart rate up, I at least stretch and do some strength moves. That way I'm not abandoning my routine completely.wowohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336303550322056658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1577193518845602183.post-32181114323435233692008-12-08T08:17:00.000-07:002008-12-08T08:17:00.000-07:00Congrats on your trip!!!!
