Well, the food part was easy enough, since I was just visiting family. I brought oatmeal and pudding and the soy snacks that I eat as meals, and then bought a bunch of the bars that I use now. And just made sure we had dinner at places where I could find something to eat, except the night I planned as my "free" night (allowed on my maintenance plan). Only the second night was unplanned, and even that was something I thought about way ahead and decided to do, since it was a dinner celebrating my birthday. I figured I'd been SO good about exercise that one dinner (and it was actually all just fine except for a piece of bread, a couple of small pieces of avocado in the salad dressing and part of a potato, with no butter or anything; it really was OK as a maintenance meal even though it seemed like cheating to me) wasn't going to be so tragic. I had even given myself permission to have dessert, but I was too full to bother.
The toughest part was the exercise. But I had everything all set up the night before, and just rolled out of bed and got started every morning. I even started doing it before breakfast, since I figure I'm getting more calories now so it's a little easier. I just decided that NOT doing it wasn't an option.
