Well, my family is not much of a "camping" type of a family! We LOVE it when we go, but we usually spend our time out at our cabin on the Columbia River when we get a chance to get out of town.
We do have an "annual" camping trip that we do once a year with some of our best friends. And THIS weekend is the weekend! We have been doing this trip for about 9 yrs now and our kids love it. It is so cool sitting around the fire and listening to our kids telling stories of "remember when" from this annual trip! As many of you know, eating healthy while camping is a bit difficult, to say the least! I do my best to pack healthy meals and snacks, but it gets hard at times. I go into these weekends knowing I am going to ENJOY myself and not stress. I love that I live by the 80/20 rule. 80% of the time we are "on track" with our healthy lifestyle and the other 20% we indulge in the "not so healthy" catagory. We always to do our best to keep on track, but if I do "decide" to have a smore or chips, I am not going to beat myself up, I am going to enjoy it and then move on to my healthy meal... That is where I find living a "healthy lifestyle" is SO much better than being on a "diet".. I did not "fall off" of anything, I just had some flipping chips!! So cool!!
So, I am going to enjoy my great friends, amazing family, drinks and yummy food! Sleeping on the ground, maybe not... Wish me luck
