Vacation from the band

[Alexandra 55]

So we're back from vacation and it was a vacation in more ways than one. My husband is a devotee of road food and I have to say I just decided to go along with him on the junk wagon. I think there were entire days when my only Protein was the morning power bar! Yuck. I feel kinda crappy, actually, and am looking forward to getting back into a regular routine with less sugar/fat/salt and more protein/fiber/protein.

But the vacation was fun! Cape Cod is a blast and we had a lovely time chasing my 3 y.o. around the beach.

It's good to be home. I missed you guys! What's going on??

Hey Alex I am glad you are back. I think its o.k. to have a vacation from the band. You need to post some pictures. I have been busy faux painting. Our work has really been picking up and I was out of town last week and I am packing to go out of town tomorrow. I think I have hit a plateau with my weight but I am trying to tell my self that its allright. I think it is harder to eat when you are on the road. I did not get to go to padre Island like we planned for labor day because of my work deadlines but thats o.k. We may go late October/ I really miss getting on the computer every day. Tell us more abput your trip... I am glad you are back safely...Janie

Hi Alex, glad to see you made it back safe and sound.

And I know VERY well about the "chasing of the 3 yr old" thing.... what fun!

Isnt it wonderful to "get away"?? I think the BEST part of a vacation is getting to re-appreciate home.

Ain't it the truth!! Living in a rented house is fine, but there's nothing like being surrounded by all your own crap. And I'm even looking forward to going back to work tomorrow.

On to the next challenges: Losing the 7 lbs of vacation gain and getting my older daughter ready for FIRST GRADE!

Alex, sounds like you had a wonderful time! So glad all went well. I've wondered about vacations , how they'll affect us. Plus, it must be nex to impossible just to get your Water load in. And your oldest daughter starting 1st grade - what a milestone! Now, back to the salt mines. I know they'll be glad to see you back.
