So wrong but oh sooo right! LOL
Will eat as normal during the first part of the day, the pool party later wil be where the interventions come in. I plan on grilling something that used to be cute and alive. The day before I will prepare the meat with a good seasoning rub, this will get me anticipating it and focused on it. Also, a good summer grilled vegatable like corn is always a draw. I will add a preportioned amount of any special treats I want. Lastly, I will forgo the high calorie / good beer and drink lighter cocktails...also pre-measured. Remembering to remain accountable and log everything keeps me from going all crazy in the moment.
Happy 4th!0 -
I'm terrified! We're going to a BBQ at a friends. It's really going to test my will power!0

We are planning to grill a lot of veggies & fruit - plums, pineapple, asparagus, zucchini and pears. I found these great turkey/cheddar brats that are made by Johnsonville that are 120 calories a piece, pair that with a grilled veggie salad and a lo-cal bun and I'm set! Yummy! Plus I want to make sure i have enough grilled fruits/veggies to make a grilled veggie salad for the next day. Super Yum!!
I was thinking about chopping up a brat and make a huge brat/grilled veggie salad!0 -
I am taking the day off to eat and drink what I want - in moderation - except for the drinking! :drinker:0

BBQ Chicken on the Grill, Tabouleh salad and watermelon! Filling, low cal and delicious! (Staying away from hotdogs, burgers and sausage this weekend!)0

What is the 4th of July without a little fresh watermelon?
Otherwise, I plan to count calories as usual. If I know I'm going to be around lots of food, I eat a big bowl of oatmeal before I go. That fills me up so I'm not fighting both the "I'm hungry" and "That looks good" feelings at the same time.0 -
Grilled chicken and veggies on kabobs , corn on the cob, veggie burgers
and turkey hotdogs, fresh fruit salad and cauliflower (potato) salad yummm0 -
Take something you like with you that you can nibble on! Like hummus dip and sliced carrots for dipping. Oh and have you ever tried Crystal Light? I just tried it (cause I usually drink water) but they have a Cherry Pomgrante flavor that is delicious! Add some Diet Ginger Ale to it and you have a zero calorie sparkling water that actually tastes good and fruity. And because its sweet, it takes the edge off the hunger. Good Luck!0

LOL! Funny! I have been wondering this myself. I have come up with grilling myself a tuna steak to have in place of hamburgers with the rest of them, and doing a crab boil with lots of peel and eat shrimp...we do a big BBQ with primarily ribs and pork shoulder so I will just try to scale out the fats and breads out of that meal. But...we'll be swimming and moving around the whole 4 days so I am going to make an effort to get in as much play-exercise as possible and just relax and have fun, too.0 -

Minimum of 60 min of Zumba to start with.
Then a cookout with family & friends - not sure of the menu yet but probably shrimp and either chicken breasts or lean steaks (if I can find them). Grilled onions and peppers and maybe a pasta salad (whole grain, of course) with plenty of fresh veggies and some grilled peaches and pineapple drizzled with molasses for dessert. And 2 big pitchers of sangria - one with wine, and one without for the kiddies.
We are putting up a water slide so should burn some calories in addition to Zumba but I'll probably still go over on calories. But that's okay. It's only one day.0 -
lean fajitas and lettuce and tomato
and pineapple grilled0 -
I am thinking that we are going to due some bbq turkey burgers, I am going to just use lettuce as my buns. Then some veggie trays and fruit trays as well. I really hope i can contain my self around what everyone else brings. I have asked them to bring healthy food. we will see.0

I am going to get my workout in and then just play it by ear. I love all meat on the grill so definitely a lot of protein will be eaten. Lots of Salad -Tossed, Lots of Veggies and maybe some fat free Jello-shooters...(LOL). Gonna get some of the Banana pudding if its on the menu. I will not be deprived but will get my workout in on all days through the long weekend. And Lord knows .... I will get me some Steamed Crabs In! Light on the Old Bay....LOL0
