I have to admit, the first day back from vacation and spending most of the day at home, it was hard to not eat all day. Sometimes those days I spend at home getting stuff done around the house, I really struggle to not visit the pantry and fridge in between each thing I’m trying to get done. I promised myself that when I got up Thursday morning, that I would be diligent about counting points and keeping within my points range. I know when I go to my Weight Watchers meeting this morning, that my weight is going to be in the 160’s. I’d like to be one of those people that goes on vacation expecting to maintain my weight, but I’m not, and I know this. I know that when I go on vacation to an all inclusive resort for one full week, I am going to enjoy my food and beverages without counting points. Gaining weight on vacation is the price I pay for the choices that I made, and I know this. Facts are facts. But now I’m prepared to get right back in the game.
Here is the successful day that I had yesterday!

“love the life you live, live the life you love”
I KNOW in my head, that exercising first thing in the morning is the thing to do! One day, I’ll actually do that!! I mean, it’s not rocket science, right?
🙂
I love your attitude about vacation- I think so many people don’t experience the local food and culture because they are so obsessed with “maintaining”. Live a little, then get back at it!
As for putting off working out – I’m the PRO at that. That’s why I work out in the morning before anything else. Then there are LITERALLY no excuses. 🙂
High five for a great weekend!
Laurie…Glad you made it! Soak up that sun and enjoy the sunrise! (If you’re up then, that is?) Have a great time!
OMG!!! We arrived on 2/20 and a rat the JW Marriott…right next door to the Hard Rock!!! It’s gorgeous her (been here before) and we beat a blizzard in MN!!
