and my little guy is sick! Has a fever and this stinks! Spent an hour in an immediate medical center and had to get antibiotics! We made it to the beach today though. I think we'll keep it low key tomorrow. Maybe hang out in the pools.
I went to the fitness center this morning. Got in 1/2 hour on a bike (it was my only option since the gym was packed and kind of small) then did some weights. Burned around 300 calories. If I can do that everyday, I should at least maintain.
Last night I made quinoa. I chopped up red and green peppers, cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, garlic added in olive oil and lemon juice. It made A LOT!!! So I packed 3 containers to take to the beach and have a huge portion left over for more! When we went shopping last night, I was so good and made sure we got a lot of good stuff for me (and them) My husband has a tendency to get stuck in this vacation food he always gets. I just made sure to get lots of veggies. Boiled some eggs, sliced a lot of watermelon, etc.
I did have some lowfat ice cream tonight on the boardwalk. But I figured I did pretty good today, so I had it and figured it was my exercise calories. And on the day my husband and I are going to go out and eat (by ourselves!) I'll work out a little harder that morning.

Hope everyone had a great weekend and I'll be thinking of you while I'm laying on the beach!!
I'll be around, checking at night!
I'll have one of these for you too!:drinker: :drinker:

    Doing much better!
    We decided to ride our bikes into the town. We had a great dinner on the ocean (I had pan seared tuna on a bed of seaweed, zucchini and mashed potatoes YUMMY! We decided to do some shopping and came out to the blackest skies with lightening! We had to jump on our bikes and try and make it home before the storm! My poor little guy was riding his little heart out! But we made it!
    Boy, this is an interesting vacation!
    Keep you all updated!
    p.s. at least I got in a lot of bike riding today! I wish I lived on flat ground 'cause these beach bikes are fun!

    Well, this vacation seems to be an exciting one.
    Lost my little guy for about a minute today! We were all riding our bikes home, I had my bigger one with me ahead of my husband and my 4 yr. old. We got way ahead of them, got home, waited for them, my older one went to see what was taking so long, I then went to see where he went, then I saw my husband and oldest son and NO younger one!!! Where the heck did he go!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    He was on a bike and he's nowhere in sight!
    I had to go back a ways, not there, we're all screaming RYAN, RYAN!!!!
    People are now turning there heads, looking for him! We start heading back towards the house, then a woman said are you looking for a little guy with a helmet on a bike?
    YES!!! He went that way!
    whew, found him. he took a turn too soon, but did find our house. good Lord!
    Not a good feeling!
    GIVE ME STRENGTH!!!
