Tarla's Journal, 17 May 2012

Just a little worried about this weekend, we are going to a cabin in a very secluded area and I doubt I will have cell phone reception, which kinda sucks because I don't want to get out of my good habit of tracking everything I eat everyday. So I will bring a paper journal with me and just write down everything that goes into my mouth, just in case I don't get any reception (always better to be prepared).

I won't have my exercise bike but I plan on doing lots of hiking and exploring (maybe even swimming) with my daughters (and hopefully we can get my Husband to come with us too). The change might be a good thing, we'll see.

I did all our food shopping last night and I did a really good job. I bought lots of fresh fruit and veggies so the girls will be able to have their snacks but they will only be able to choose healthy ones lol. I bought the stuff to make ants on a log (thanks Sarah) and we’ll make them with peanut butter and cheese whiz just to change things up. They will enjoy that (and so will I, sounds yummy). I also found a variation to the traditional somores, you still use graham crackers and a marshmallow but substitute the chocolate for a little fat free jam, the girls are really excited to try it.

I feel much better going into this weekend knowing that I won't be faced with too many bad, unhealthy food choices. My main concern will just be portion control, which I think I should do just fine with. Alcohol might be another issue, but I will do my best to only have a few and enjoy myself. After all that is what this vacation is all about and I plan on enjoying myself and my time away with my family.

Hope you all have a great weekend too!

Sounds like a great weekend. You get a lot of credit for planning ahead and making preperations. That is much easier said that done and that is how we end up slipping on the weekends and vacations. You have a great mindset. Enjoy the vacation with family and eat and drink in moderation. Can't wait to hear how the jelly smores come out. I'll have to look through journal entries to find Sarahs suggestions. Have Fun!
