Survived Disneyland
We spent three days at Disneyland. We had a great time and I held strong. I strayed from the path one night for a beef dip sandwich. Mimi's post dietary information on their web site so I was able to log those calories accurately.
I have been volunteering for the American Heart Association (AHA) for years now. One of the things we have been working toward is more and better dietary information at point of sale. Had I been able to see the actual calorie count, not to mention the sodium (almost 4 grams) I would have made a better choice. I have lobbied in Washington DC and in Sacramento CA for these small changes. Calories fat and sodium listed on menus, not just the web sites. It is frustrating to talk to our legislators who don't want to upset the apple cart. I say we need to up end that cart and push it down capital hill!!! I have seen progress though with the campaigns we have run. You can buy fresh fruit and cut vegetables at the convenience stores, travel centers, and at my local doughnut shop. Disneyland has great nutritious options available at their street vendors, fruit, veges, water, not just cotton candy and corn dogs.
I did have a loss.... even though I ate a beef dip. Picture me smiling wearing my Minnie Mouse ears.
Have a good week all.
