Camping Tips -

Do as much pre-preparation as possible. Make pancake mix, marinate chicken breasts, make concentrated soups.
Freeze every thing you can, including soups, and meats. Use the frozen food products to provide refrigeration in the cooker for the first day or two. Marinated chicken freezes beaurifully.
To add flavor take along your favorite sauces and salsas.

THIS WEEKEND
Make yourself a weight management goal for this weekend or for your vacation. Write it down and try storyboarding it. Storyboarding involves stating a goal then breaking that goal down into doable steps. Everything gets written down.
Then try mentally rehersing it. That involves picturing yourself doing the steps successfully. Read more about Storyboarding and Mental Rehearsing in the WEEK 8 handout.
So, make a goal.
Remember, a goal is a dream with a happy ending. - Duke Ellington
