February brought with it another exciting challenge. Vacation with my Mom.
Don't get me wrong, I was very excited to be going on a vacation "alone" with Mom. Having 4 sisters growing up, someone was always around. As I got older I was working in the family business, and then as the business owner I was the one to stay behind to take care of things.
So I've missed trips with my Mom and Sisters, I've missed a few out of town family weddings and so forth. But when I looked back at things, I've never had a trip alone with my Mom. Excited Oh yes! Wondering how I was going to deal with maintaining the start of my "Life Style" was the challenge. Especially in Las Vegas!
Mom was wonderful. She supported me in attempting to eat healthy while on vacation, even helped me find things on the menu that fit what I had laid out in my plan.
Did I stray? YES. . . . But I did much better then I thought I would.
Let me point out that while most people focus a lot on salads, I have to be very careful on the amount of and type of salads that I eat because of a food allergy.
Had a great time with Mom, found out that she's not like other 70+ year olds . . . that woman was hard to keep up with. It renewed my belief that if I wanted to "Grow up to be like Mom" I needed to get this weight off, and keep it off.
See my weight gain battle definately comes from my Father's side of the family.
