Happy Sunday Everyone! Sadly, I'm at the work place today, but gotta make that money. Blah! LoL

I'm just excited i pulled myself out of that funk last week and feeling stronger then ever. I know bad days will come and when i truly master those and not let them defeat me....ill totally feel powerful.

My next vacation obstacle will be april 6th - april 13th. Going to Portland, OR to see my sis and celebrate my birthday and her wife's birthday. Soooo excited! Havent been able to get out there in like 2 years. It's such a pretty state and my sister def knows how to show people a good time. And she loves food and great food places! LOL Thankfully she also has been down the weight loss road and understands what im doing. Once plane tickets are bought and its 100% sure we are going im getting a game plan to exercise and food choices. We cant plan everyday to the T, but i cant go 100% crazy either. Thankfully they live on a beautiful road and one of my exercise plans is to take their adorable golden out for a walk every day or every other day. probably in the mornings before everyone gets up. Thankfully they sleep in a little so that should be perfect. Im not letting a vaca take control like i did last year. I planned like crazy last year and i let a 4 day trip to FL just ruin me. I will not let it this time! I cant afford to. I can enjoy myself, but like i said...not a whole week of craziness. That does nothing!

But anyway, i think i have chatted enough for one sitting. If this Sunday is like most at work ill probably be on and off here so much today. Maybe ill even get a nap in. LOL Hope everyone has a great day. HUGS

Summer that sounds like a great attack plan for the vacation --- I normally just forget everything over vacation and the scale really shows it. If you know what reastaurants are in the area of your sisters house look up there manu and see what are the good things to eat and what you should ignore. This week I had to go for dinner 2x once to Joey's and once to Milestones. I checked on their website the weightwatchers points and to my shock the last time I was at Joeys I had 70 poins worth of food (I am allowed 28 WW points a day) I basically used up all the extra points allowed for the week in one sitting.

Here is a wonderful website that has tons of restaurants listed with WW points and WW Points Plus values for their whole menu. I LOVE it! I have it bookmarked on my phone and use it whenever we go out.

that is a good idea. i usually go all out on vaca and when i come back home i never get back on track and gain back everything i lost prior. i think researching restaurants she wants to take us too would def help! id be prepared instead of going in blind and ordering whatever first pops at me. and of course....water, water, water! i may enjoy some soda/alcohol drinks for our bday celebration night, but after that....water. LOL
