Camping & Eating Healthy

This holiday weekend we went camping. We have a popup camper that we tow with the motorcycle. The camper isn’t very big but it has a queen size bed and is very comfortable. The last time we went camping was before I lost the weight and I didn’t enjoy myself. Clarence had to do all of the work because I wasn’t able to help him. I also couldn’t join in on the activities and I felt like I was keeping Clarence from having fun.

What I wanted to talk about was what I had to eat on this trip. Friday morning we went to Bob Evans and I had oatmeal with fruit in it. Friday afternoon I had a lean hamburger with onion, and string cheese wrapped in lettuce. ( no bun ) Later that night I had and apple and string cheese for a snack. Saturday morning I had bacon, one egg and two small pancakes with sugar free syrup. Saturday night I had one hamburger wrapped in lettuce, a small amount of baked beans and potato salad. I had a special K breakfast bar and a glass of red wine for a snack while sitting around the campfire. Sunday I had bacon, one egg and two small pancakes again. Sunday evening I splurged a little and had two Johnsonville brats on buns. I’m only human. I had string cheese and a glass of wine for a snack. Monday I had the same breakfast and for supper I had steak and sweet potato without butter or brown sugar. For snack I had a handfull of baked wheat thins and a glass of wine. I had coffee with my breakfast and drank plenty of water during the day. I usually have more fruits and vegetables when I’m at home but it’s hard to take all of that when your camping.
