Challenging week in Charleston, SC

mgoblue64

For the last 45 days I've been doing great keeping up with my log and staying below my daily calorie goal. I haven’t exceeded it even one time. As of Saturday I've dropped 33 pounds, about 45 days into my journey. So here's the big challenge I face this week.......I'm heading to Charleston, SC for a couple days for some much needed rest and relaxation. I’m finally taking a little personal time away from my job that consumes 50 to 60 hours a week. My company cell phone is off. I'm not taking my laptop. I'm staying in the historic district in a very nice in that offers a continental breakfast in the morning and happy hour with a selection of wines and cheeses every night. I can't begin to imagine how great the local restaurants will be, but I know they're everywhere you turn.

So, here’s my question for everyone out there…..Do I watch every move I make, every bit of food I eat, and every glass of wine I drink, to make sure I keep my streak going, or do I take a couple days off from my current routine and not let it bother me that I might not drop that extra pound or two by the end of the week?

What do others in the MFP world do when they face a similar situation?

Are there any restaurants in the historic district that offer a lighter selection, or am I facing that incredible Charleston cooking everywhere I turn with very limited healthful options available to me?

Go to Shem Creek and go Paddle Boarding, or go to the Isle of Palms and go Paddle boarding, you will burn a butt ton of calories. Walk the Cooper River Bridge. Do these things for fun. Get the food grilled instead of fried if you can, and really you can make anything healthy or fattening, but maybe since it is a vacation, just make it a goal to maintain.
