About to head off for an eleven day vacation with my husband, two "adult" daughters, and two teenage sons....... SHOULD BE INTERESTING!

I guess I'm writing this on this forum to help me COMMITT to doing the following......

1. Get to the gym at the resort four out of the six days there...... for a 45 minute cardio workout before heading to the amusement parks..... Why?

I have MORE ENERGY for the day on the days I work out.

2. Carry in my backpack: Protein bars, individual bags of nuts, and Water bottles.

3. Share lunch and dinner options with my husband and/or kids, instead of ordering a whole entree, and not being able to take home the leftovers.

4. Take a bite or two off of my kid's daily buy of Micky Mouse Ice Cream bars, and not devour two or three a day on my own.

5. Take a vacation from myfitnesspal, and NOT log in on a daily basis, knowing that my trusty band won't let me overeat anyway.

6. Start my beach days off with a long walk and end my beach days with a long walk along the beach.

7. Enjoy being able to walk the parks, get on and off the rides, and take pictures with the kids, w/out the burden of the extra 125 pounds of weight I

had on my body the last time we did this trip.

8. Walk around the water parks in my size 12 bathing suit WITHOUT WEARING A COVER-UP ALL DAY.

I'll let y'all know how it goes........ YIPPPPEEEE !!!!!!!!!!!

@@HealthyNewMe have a WONDERFUL time on your vacation!

I just made a post every similar in regards to what I have to do to stay on course this summer, meaning modification and game plans. I wish I would've done what you just did and mapped it out BEFORE this weekend!!! I winged it and learned I just can't do that!

Again, have a wonderful time and enjoy every minute of it!!
