I never thought that I would have some anxiety while attending an summer event. But I did yesterday. Yesterday my best friend Russ got us tickets to the Dayton Air show in Dayton of course. I had never been, so I was very excited to go and see what it was all about. Though in the back of my mind I was a little nervous regarding the food and being outside all day in the hot weather.
The show was amazing, the company was good and I keep the water bottle full. BUT when it came to eating I couldn't bring myself to give in. See this event you couldn't being your own coolers in, so anything like a turkey sandwich wasn't possible. So you are at the mercy of the event food. It was everything from hot dogs to funnel cakes. Nothing good in between. So I made the commitment to not each anything. Was it a smart move, not really because by the end of the event I was starving. I was also nervous that eating that type of food would make me sick, and who wants to spend a hot day in a port a potty...NOT ME! I keep the water coming so I knew I wouldn't get dehydrated. But it really posses the question, how are you going to attend events like this and still maintain the program. After the show was over we met my cousins for dinner and was back to making the good choices. But I know that missing a whole day of food really did something to my body.
I'm glad I had this experience because it really helped me understand how I'd react in this type of situation but it also opened me up to what's really out there.

Don't you carry a big purse? Maybe try to hide a few healthy, high protein snacks in there!
