Jess214 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Today is Day 11 for me! I am so proud of how well I've done up to this point. My family is not participating in Whole30...so there is still plenty of junk around here (yes, I do the grocery shopping ). There have been Oreos, Lays BBQ chips and I made cookies tonight for them to have while I'm out-of-town. I'm not quite sure what it is about this way of eating, but I'm so much more determined to stick to it. I suppose because I don't want to have to start over. Anyway...the point of this post...This weekend 2 of my SILs and my MIL and a couple others are spending a couple days shopping and such. There is talk of wineries...not too big a of a deal. Wine isn't my favorite, so I'm not too worried about that. However, I know there will be several times where we will eat out. It's crazy how nervous this makes me. I don't want to have to spend a ton of time trying to figure out ingredients and take forever to order. Many will probably be spur of the moment decisions about where to eat, so I doubt I'll have much time to research. I'm sure I'm making a bigger deal over this than I should, but I just don't want to blow it! I'm determined to get through these 30 days (maybe more)!! Thanks for letting me share...guess I just need to get over it and enjoy the time together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoJo09 Posted August 29, 2014 Share Posted August 29, 2014 Offer to drive around the wineries - no chance of drinking then! Suggest you take a picnic lunch on one of the days while you're driving around, and then you can make sure there are compliant options. If you know you'll be going to a cafe for lunch, take a salad and hardboiled eggs to eat before you get there, and then sit and have a coffee while the others are eating (I do this often). Ask for a plain steak and garden salad if you go out for dinner, and have a bottle of olive oil dressing in your handbag. And don't bother trying to hide what you're doing/how you're eating, if your family make fun of you, laugh along with them, and do it anyway!

Jess214 Posted September 2, 2014 Author Share Posted September 2, 2014 The weekend went very well. I made sure to ask plenty of questions and get things as plain as possible. I felt great all weekend and we did tons of walking. I'm not positive everything was compliant, so I may tack on extra days to be sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
