Dieting while away from home.....I failed!!!

I went to a conference in Nashville, Tennessee this weekend. It was a great conference and I was able to spend time with some fellow administrators. We stayed at the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center. This place was like it's own little world. I had a blast but was not successful with my weight loss efforts. They had a fitness center and pool so the good news is that at least I did work out each day. In the past I probably wouldn't even know there WAS a fitness center.


Bad news is that I ate and drank WAYYYYYYY too much. I think I deceived myself into thinking I "did ok" and didn't overeat but getting home last night and stepping on the scale this morning said something else. I am frustrated beyond belief with myself. I know the big thing for me is the portion size. It's also not being able to accurately count calories and guessing what the numbers are. I just can't figure out why my self control isn't under "control" and why when I am in a social setting that I just don't maintain the same control I have when I am home.


I am freaking out over the Disney trip since it's for seven days. If I cannot successfully handle a weekend, how will I even begin to handle a week. I need a plan and I need it NOW!!!!! I am attaching several video clips from this weekend that I used for my weekly Lifetime video. It'll show what great workout facilities they have.


This morning....back at it......getting back on track is hard to do......fun and dieting need to go together......I can't figure it out yet though......darn!!!
