Good morning to all my MFP pals!!! Today is my son's fifth birthday party and I'm having about 15 kids at my house today. (I know please say a prayer for me that I will survive!!!) It's going to be about 90 degrees and muggy. The party is outside so I am having a slip n slide, bounce house, water balloons and games. I will have quite a few adults here to help so that's good too! Anyway, I know I'm rambling on but here's why..... We are leaving for vacation in the morning right after breakfast and I'm not even packed!!!! Have to pack myself, two kids and check after my husband AND all the other stuff.:sad: :explode: I'm a little stressed, really need the beach, there is a chair calling my name!!!!:laugh: So needless to say, I will probably be up late tonight but it will be worth it, we will be gone for a week.
I am nervous abut the week with no scale and I will not be logging calories. I am going to enjoy my vacation but I am not going to go hog wild with food either. We are going to an all inclusive family resort in Canada. There will plenty of exercise still so I'm not worried about that. No gym access but I plan to run in the mornings and then I can kayak, canoe, paddleboat, bike ride, swim.
Wish me luck everyone, I will need it to get through today and I hope when I get back from vacation I can say I've maintained or even lost. There is internet access where we are going so I will still probably be on the boards a little... Can't help it, I'm addicted here!:laugh: :wink:

    Ha going on vacation in Canada..... :) I am from Canada.....LOL!

    Rest assured most Canadians are very health and exercise motivated as well. You will find that our resterants as well as grocery stores offer an array of health related foods and meals. I hope you have a great vacation....where in Canada are you going if you don't mind me asking?
    If I were you I would just relax and unwind. Given what you have already achieved I think you will find it very easy to stay on track with diet and exercise. Do enjoy a few extra treats though, afterall you work all year long to enjoy your holiday's so take in the sites and tastes that MY GREAT COUNTRY HAS TO OFFER! You will truly enjoy Canada, she is a very beautiful country!
