we're here, the SUNSHINE STATE, however when we landed in Orlando it was RAINING

It cleared up though, we picked up our van and drove to Daytona (long delays on the highway )

We are going to be here in Daytona until Saturday around noon (then we head to Orlando and Disney)

Tomorrow we are going to the flea markets early, then (provided we have sun) we are going to spend the day on the beach! AHHHH THIS IS HEAVEN!

Our plane ride was pleasant...the kids thought it was cool...joely has just been amazed by everything so far, however she was a bit cranky by late this afternoon, I think a day of traveling was too much for her, her normally sweet and pleasant disposition was a bit sour tonight...some rest and she should be good as new!

We have a room at the La Quinta Inn (the newest hotel ocean side at daytona)...the rooms are very nice...ours has two queen beds, and a couch that makes into a bed...also a fridge,microwave, sink, etc....shower is nice too...has a great pool, and hot tub...we are on second floor and our room faces the ocean

my parents are in the room next to us...jayt is sleeping in their extra queen bed tonight(they don't have the couch in their room)

jaron has a queen bed, and joely took the fold out bed....tomorrow morning i'm getting up at 5am, working out for 1 hr in the exercise room, then taking a walk on the beach with my mom and gator

ok, off to post my food diary of the day, and then to bed

hugs from florida....more tomorrow!

ok, the goods for today:

BREAKFAST: granola-yogurt bar (vanilia) and 1 cup skim milk

LUNCH: chicken taco salad, a few tortilia chips with salsa (ate about 1/2 of the taco salad)...water and a necterine

SNACK: a few low fat cheeze it's, a kellogg's nutragrain bar (strawberry) and a necterine

DINNER: Grouper Sandwich (blackened) with onion and tomato...baked potato (i did have reg butter and reg sour cream, but only used about 3/4 of my butter which was i'd say 1 tbsp...and the sour cream was about 1 tbsp too, used all of it...ate about 1/2 my potato. 3 small pieces of watermellon...also didn't finish the whole bun on my sandwich only ate about 3/4 of the bun.

so day one vacation over and i feel i faired well!

now off to make day two just as successful!!

huggies
Jen

(oh yea, water, about 50 oz, EXERCISE...lots of walking and carrying bags!

Sunrise over the ocean is THE BEST!!!! But sunset ain't too shabby either - just gotta go to the other coast!

I can't wait to hear the results of your trip. You are off to a great start!

Have a totally wonderful weekend!

 

[calena]

[goldcupmom]

Ok, here's my best guesses as to points/cals. I looked them up as closely as I could.

BREAKFAST: 1 c special k cereal in 2% milk(2)...1 orange(1), 1 english muffin with 1 tsp jelly(2+) 1/2 c oj (1)

Breakfast 6.5 - 7 pts (325 - 350 cal)
LUNCH: turkey lunchmeat(2), piece of cheese(3), lettuce, tomato in a warm pita bread(if 1/2 of a pita - 1) 1/2 c cottage cheese (reg) (2.5)

Lunch - 8.5 pts - 425 Cal.

SNACK: 100 calorie oreo pack (2)

DINNER: 1/4 lb peel and eat shirmp(2), zuccini and squash, 1/2 pc grouper stuffed with blue crab(6 - 8), and basil sauce.

Dinner - 8 - 10 pts 400 - 500 calWATER: 32 oz

So, totals for the day - 25 - 27 pts - 1250 - 1350 Calories.

I THINK YOU DID AWESOME!!!!!!!

On WW that would be for 175 - 199 lbs (24 pts)- 225 - 249 lbs (28 pts), and you would have 35 total points a week to "play" with extra. So you would seem to be VERY much on track!!!!

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Hope you're having an AWESOME time!

Soak up some sun for me

 

[TigerCheer2009]

Hi Jen!!!!! You did fine!!!! If you are full, that's a plus!

When will you be going to see MICKEY!?!? You must tell him that Jen (the other one) has had to push her trip back a year, 5 months and 4 weeks. Bring back lots of pixie dust and yummy food!

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

well now i feel better that you guys think i've done ok..it's just more than i've been eating...or it seems so anyhow

but i also got more exercise today than i've been getting so i guess it evens out huh?

Jen

Sounds like the vacation is going really well! Isn't it nice to exercise on vacation...you've got all the time in the world...it feel more leisurly and less like work

Have a great, great time at WDW!

 

[brandip22]

So glad you are keeping us posted, Jen! You really are doing great! I'm so proud of you- and the excercising you are and will be getting in the parks will be amazing! I will hope for no rain, but with the Hurricane in the Gulf, not sure if I can help too much!! But, more parks to yourself then maybe! I just know you are having a wonderful time- say hi to Mickey for us all!

 

[joelyfaithsmommy]

Hi guys...well we're in ORLANDO...we were at Epcot today...did breakfast at the Floridian 1900 park fare w/the characters...it was nice...i didn't eat very good there....here's what i had:

3--sweet rolls (small pecan)
4 pc pineapple
1 bite bacon
1 bite hashbrown potatoes
1 bite scrambled eggs
1 hard boiled egg (ate the white only)
1 small glass oj


LUNCH: 1/2 turkey breast sandwich, wheat bread, grapes

DINNER: 2 chicken fajitas (i made these) @ the condo...very good

1 lemonade
40 oz water

EXERCISE: 4 MILES on the bike
1.5 hrs of walking



ok, so I've had better days...but I am trying...it's really hard here at disney cause my parents are thin and insist on going to restaurants that are expensive, and don't have great choices...i'm going to do better on food choices tomorrow...PERIOD

i am getting in more exercise than normal...so maybe i'm doing OK.

jen

yesterday was TERRIBLE....i'm not even going into what i ate...i've moved on and i'm going to KEEP ON SWIMMING

THAT'S MY GOAL, SWIM BABY SWIM!!

hugs,
Jen
