packing, packing and more packing

My trip is almost here...Hubby and I are going to the Bahamas and leaving Monday morning.  I have to admit I am a bit excited about the trip but nervous at the same time.  I had to buy all new clothes of course and can not wait to wear them including the 3 new bathing suits for our 5 day trip.  But I am bummed at the same time about leaving our lil man home.  This is the first time I will be away form him and so far away for an extended period.  I am also nervous about eating too.  I am packing plenty of protein samples that I had not used and hope to stay as close to plan as possible with little treats here and there, probably in the form of tropical adult beverages!
I NEED this vacation more then anything.  The last time we were at this resort was 6 yrs ago when we were married. I weighed about 230 lbs at the time and remember I was so depressed about my image and trying to keep covered up.  I feel the total opposite now about that that is for sure. I did buy board shorts because I have not been able to work out as much due to my back and my legs have gotten a bit "floppy".  But I still feel good about my image with 100 less pounds to carry around.

Anyway, thanks for listening!  I wish all a great week and will "chat" with you when I get back.

Thanks, Gina.  I am looking forward to the beach and beautiful water.

Enjoy your trip!! Love the water down there. Our vacation at the beach is in June. Your little guy will be just fine.

Thanks, Meg.

I know. Just mom anxiety I guess.  He packed enough toys to stay a month at my moms house. I am worried he is fine now by will throw a fit when we drop him off tonight!

Have fun and have an adult beverage for me!

Thanks, Jody.  My first adult beverage is for you!!!

Have fun!!!!!  I don't worry much about my eating while on vacation.  I stay AWAY from stuff I know effects me.  Try not to experiment, my motto!  I do the board shorts thing too! :)  But I find as time goes on (summer goes on), I tend to roll them up and not care soo much!!!  Enjoy your 5 days of bliss!  Your little man will be fine about 20 mins after you leave!  And he will show you soo much love when you return!  Be sure to take lots of pics and show them off!!

Thanks, Jackie.  I am sure once we get there we will be fine.  Not experimenting for me.  You never know when something new will affect us.  I don't want to get sick while there and ruin our time away.  Lean protein and veggies for me.  I got a new phone so I can call and check on him too.  No hiding behing cove ups for me this time. Will post some pics when we get back.

Woot Woot!  Have a great time!!!  What a great way to creat a new memory over the depressing one from last time!  You go girl!
