Monday Motivation!

I didn't have time to post on Friday, so we're on to Motivation Monday instead.  It had a nice ring to it, doesn't it?

So the focus of today's post is vacation!  Tomorrow I'm flying to the Midwest and I have to admit, I have been very nervous about what this is going to do to my recent success.  10 plus weeks was huge, and I really want to continue to lose, but I am afraid of what can happen on vacation because I will be out of my element.  There are some things that I won't be able to control.  I know that, but I have to remember that vacation does not give me a free pass to eat whatever I want.  I have worked very hard over the past 10 weeks to get where I am and I can't throw that away now.

This isn't going to be easy.  I know that.  But the best things in life doesn't come easy.  They take work and the results are worth it when we work hard.  So I will get out and walk.  That will be the first thing I need to do.  And the hotel has a gym, so I need to make sure I use it.  But even if I don't, I'll need to walk.  And I'll be keeping an eye on my pedometer and my ActiveLink.  That will tell me if I am doing the work.

Food is also going to be something I really need to think about.  We all love to try new foods in new places.  But I need to focus on keeping those to a minimum.  Moderation.  A taste.  No over indulging.  As my BIL said, "it doesn't taste any better when you go back for seconds or order a larger size."  I can still enjoy something in a smaller portion, so that is what I need to do. 

Wish me luck!! 

Oh, and while I'm away, I will be weighing in at a Weight Watchers center to see how I'm doing.  So you should see a post from me again on Thursday with those results.
