One More Day!

The best thing about this Vegas trip is that I get to bless my daughter with an amazing time. She stays home with three special needs kids and has never had a break or even a vacation with the family. I ordered our tickets yesterday for a tour that takes us from Vegas in a small plane to the Grand Canyon to walk on the new glass skywalk and to visit the Indian village. How fun is that! We plan on going to at least one show while we are there and seeing all the amazing sites that we can fit in. I'm sure she will miss the kids but we will stay busy. We are staying at the Wynn which is the nicest hotel that I remember on the strip. She will have a blast. I am concerned with eating, no scales, and no support group though!! I plan on walking a lot so maybe I'll be ok.

Wanda, Have a wonderful time and take lots of pictures! I know your daughter will enjoy having you there! That new glass skywalk looks exciting! Let us know if it feels strange to walk out over the Canyon! As far as being without scales, etc. just remember how many posts you have read from people who have come home from vacations 3, 5 or even more pounds down! Focus on having a good time while remembering water and protein and you will do great! You know you are going to buy clothes in Vegas too!!!! CeCe

You know what's funny? I packed business attire for my conferences during the day, clothes for two corporate dinners, travel clothes, and play clothes. It all fit in a medium size bag that only weighed 36 pounds! That would have never happened with my bigger sized clothes last year!! I got a kick out of that.

You will do fine I'm quite sure...and perhaps no scales and nutritional labels will be good for you for a week. And trust me you are going to be do SO much walking that you'll get plenty of exercise!! Water is the important thing!!! Have a great time, it sounds like you have an amazing trip planned and your daughter is sure to have a blast! Corinna Q

You will do just fine. I was on vacation with no scales and all the food I wanted available to me and I did fine. I didn't lose any weight, but I also didn't gain. Now that I am home and back on track the scale is moving down again. I was really bad on vacation too (ducking in shame).... Just have fun and don't stress over it. You and your daughter will have a blast, ENJOY!!!!! Shawn M.

Sounds like you are going to have a BLAST! I love going to Vegas. I may get to go in June for a conference. Can't wait to hear about it and see some fun pics. Enjoy yourself!
