George hates to shop. Actually, so do I. So, when we go out on a major shopping trip, I know we'll be tempted by any excuse to stop - like eating lunch. It's tough to stick to our eating plan when we're grabbing a quick bite at the food court or the mall restaurant, so we've devised a solution. We pack a picnic basket (really a cooler) with easy, nutritious food like cold turkey or chicken, sliced cheese (Lite Jarlsberg is good), apples (on Phase Two), nuts, and bottles of water. It's great to go out to the car, turn on some music or the news, and relax with our picnic. Sometimes, we just head home afterward, but once in awhile, we actually hit the stores again with more energy. ~ Louise
