The Deadline Looms ...

Well it's 7 more sleeps until our big vacay to Myrtle Beach. I've had 7 months to lose weight ... so where am I at now you ask? About 15 pounds lighter than 7 months ago. Certainly no where near where I wanted to be. Excuses? I have them all. But when it comes down to it, it's my own fault. I had the attitude that "oh, I have lots of time to lose it" and it has crept up on me. Yes I'm glad I'm a bit healthier, exercising daily and eating better, but I'm not glad about the weight I'm still carrying. It's been such a struggle. Lots of eat-outs, bbq's, parties, showers ... my strategy for surviving these events without eating everything bad was in place, I just had a really really hard time falling back on it. Whenever I had a bad day I would hop right back on the wagon the next day, but it just seemed that I had more bad days every week than good days. And they would catch up with me by weigh-in day.
So here I am, 8 days away from a wonderful vacation with my hunky hubby and our friends, the other couple that is joining us on the trip. I am excited, looking forward to getting away, releasing stress, and just having a beautiful, romantic vacay with my hubby. Oh, and big surprise, I'm looking forward to the eating ... all the different restaurants, buffets, seafood ... OH GEEZ, WILL I EVER NOT LOVE FOOD? I doubt it!!!!!!

Thanks for reading! Enjoy the rest of the summer ... it's slipping away quickly!!
