If I had to pick one, my dream vacation would be going to the Amalfi Coast with access to a yacht.

Dream vacation: Definitely a cruise! I love to cruise. I'd like to cruise to somewhere I've never been before. St. Kitts, St. John some small island off the beaten path! I want to be in the penthouse suite, with the maid, the butler, the works!

27. Crunches and squats completed for today. Had a nice time at the gym. Hmmm, not sure what my dream vacation is today. I love to travel and learn new things. I especially love swimming in the sea. Other times a staycation is what I want.

#27. Now this makes me wistful. My dream vacation would be back to say 2004 or 2005,both my late son and late husband would be still with me. I would be showing them parts of Ohio neither of them had seen before. Like the steeped churches in Northwestern Ohio. Each town has Saint's name, like St Henryand St Mary.They were all founded by German immigrants who came to the U.S.and Ohio looking for a better life.

And I would told them more often. just how much I loved them, oh I'm sure they sensed it but I could still have done it more.

Who could suspect in 2008 I would have had my son die and his father followed in 2012? Things were starting to go out way family-wise, Tomkitten was in his 20s, older brother was entering his 30s, so we were about finished raising them so could start enjoying them as co-adults. We thought we had all the time in the world to enjoy each other. I was still working at WallyWorld, so yes vacations would have to organized around my free time, but also I made enough money we could stay in hotels if we wanted instead of sleeping bags on the ground.

What would my Dram vacation be in 2019? Gee I dont quite know, as. I go on losing weight different facets of Me, long buried, are resurfacing. I'm no longer round-faced, my body is different, even the way I prepare and eat food is different, I am rebuilding Me and like many constuction projects, you may have blueprints but until you're finished you aren't sure what you've gotten into!
Big {{{hugs}}} lady 😘😘😘

27) Just last week we put a deposit on a beach home on the gulf (ok close to the beach!!) for a week in summer of 2020. ALL of us are going . All my kids, their spouses and all the grands. It’s the first time all three of my kids, the hubs and I have all been on a vacation together since my oldest two started working at 16. So @Frustr8 post held special significance for me. Take the trip, eat the cake (but don’t REALLY eat the cake 😂) buy the dress. 👍🏻

#28- Learn something new.

I hate to say it, but I'm directionally challenged! If I don't know how to get somewhere it's over! I have been making myself go to different areas where I live. Using my GPS in my phone and car. I hate being lost, it's the weirdest thing. I almost have a panic attack. Just do it!🤨

Learn something new. I watched Brene Brown’s new special on Netflix (I love her), and I learned at least 10 things while watching it. Her books and TED talks on YouTube are really worth your time too.

Debating if I’m going to the gym today, Sunday’s are crazy busy there. If not I’ll workout at home and go for a long walk.

Deeber, I hate getting lost too, but not as extreme as you. I do love reading maps, whenever we go on vacation my husband knows to buy any kind of map we find along the way.

I am so grateful to do nothing today. I've had some sort of crud for over a week -- sore throat, almost no voice, wracking cough, fatigue -- and it's really messing with my workout schedule. 😕

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
