HAPPY TURKEY DAY

OKAY, SO I'VE REACHED MY DEADLINE, BUT NOT MY GOAL WEIGHT.  That is the bad news.  But the good news is that I came pretty damn close.

I am very proud of myself for sticking to my plan with a couple of bumps in the road.  Even though I had planned on being 20 lbs down by this point,  I lost 15-16, so that's a pretty good showing for the first leg of the journey.  

I am moving on from here, with the goal of losing the next 20 by Valentines day.  I have to make a goal for this holiday season, because if I do not, temptation will surely take over and I might be back where I started by New Year's Day.  I have Thanksgiving, Christmas and other holiday occasions to think about, (and they will probably be off the reservation days) but if I am focused on the days in between, I should make it through all right.

WAITING TO BEGIN

No, I did not go on this ride

Still on vacation. We have checked out, and my middle child and I, lets call him Bear.  Bear and I are sitting in the lobby--managed to grab a spot on a couch for both of us.  We are surrounded by out of control children, and parents that don't seem to care. Lots if fun here.

Hubby and two other children are back in the water park.  Bear did not want to go in there today, and would rather sit here and play his ds.  Said something about the chlorine bothering his skin.  My daughter, the youngest, lets call her Bunny, had skin irritation last night.  Was not going to go back in the water today, but changed her mind.  I did not go in, partly because of the bathing suit thing.  God willing, I will not have to wear one again until July--except for my bathing suit weigh-ins of course.

I am so ready to leave.  I'd like to get back home.  I like vacations, and this was only a two night, three day deal, but it will be nice to get back to the comfort of home.

Once there we have to use up all the fattening food and prepare for the 20's challenge.  Hubby is going to do it too, but asking him to log in food may be pushing it a bit.  He needs it more than I do.  He really likes beer.
