Vacation mode

Right now, my family is on our yearly vacation to Colorado. I love coming out here every year because I grew up here. It's nice to visit familiar places when you don't live there anymore. There's just a sense of nostalgia every time we come back here and visit my best friend from high school or go downtown and play tourist. Since I moved away over 15 years ago a lot has changed too and it's fun to see those changes.

I'm trying to stay on track weight-loss wise while on vacation. It's hard because you get into a different mindset. I haven't been tracking my points at all since we got here 2 days ago. Since then, I've had McDonald's, cherry pie a la mode, a Starbuck's chocolate mint mocha frap, and movie theater popcorn. I know I've already blown through my weekly points allowance. I normally weigh in on Saturday mornings when I'm home, but I didn't bring my booklet with me so I couldn't go to a meeting today to see where I am. I have a plan to reach my goal by mid-August (my son's birthday) and don't have room to get off track since that is only about 5 weeks away! So 1 pound a week is what I need to lose now. Luckily, we are staying very active while on vacation. I worked out, we took the kids to a pool, and went on a walk so far. We also plan on doing a hike, going to a zoo, and going whitewater rafting this week. Well, here's hoping I have a great vacation and don't go too far overboard on the indulging!
