July's Journal

[Princess Michelle]

July, I'm so glad that you are alright! I hope that any damage is minimal.

July:

Glad to hear you're doing okay after the hurricane.

I finally had a chance to read your journal. You are doing fabulously!

 

[July]

Well we did get to come to Limetree Resort in Sarasota Beach today. The sunset was beautiful. The place is great. I love it over here. I am glad the hurricane did not do damage here. We saw many tree trucks, emergency vechicals on the way here today.
My mom is still without electricity. She would not come with us or even go to our house and stay there with the boys. She is stubborn. She has shingles off the roof of her house, many trees are down in her yard and all over the neighbors. They do have phones though thank goodness. They are cooking on a grill. The back porch screen was ripped pretty good. But compared to everyone else in Lake Wales they feel very lucky.

For today on program it was a rush deal trying to get packed, check on mom, shop & get the boys something to eat. As well as get over here and get checked in. We checked in about 6:00pm. We went shopping for food right after that.

Today
B Rasin Bran cereal with skim milk

L Lean Cuisine three meat pizza
6oz of diet dr. pepper

s tall light coffee frappicino ( I was so bad )

D WW Smart Ones Tuna Noodle Gratin

E- 25 minute walk on the beach

I just want to thank Rae Ann, Michelle, Gail, Linda, Beth & Tracy for checking in with me during the storm. It was stressful. But I guess I did flubb up to bad with the diet.

Well we got in a 50 minute walk on the beach before sunset this evening. After doing laundry I was hungry so I had another snack.
So even though I am excercising this vacation I probably will not lose any weight cause I am having far to many snacks. But as long as I maintain I should be okay....

my night snack
1/2 piece of coconut creme pie (yummy) but oh sooo bad
& 10 whole natural almonds

July

 

[chrismiss56]

Just maintain and you will get back to plan when you get home
