whos hopping in my suitcase Thurs morn?

[imgoingtodisney]

Im gonna need someone to come along w/me to NH July 3-6. Who's up for the job? Im determined not to cheat, drink, etc. (gonna save my cheats for when DH comes w/us July 18-24) Wont have WISH or fitday to help me out. Thinking I may enter the food Im bringing w/us on fitday ahead of time so I know where Im at. Will take DS out for 1 meal a day- planning on getting some type of salad. If we have brkfst out I'll get some type of eggs, not french toast! and give DS my bacon

Im planning on packing up fruits, yogurts, plenty of water bottles. Will clock my walking by time instead of trips around the "gerbil track". (planning on making up that walking time either before or after our trip) Taking DS hiking through the Flume Gorge, Lost River and I believe Loon Mtn has trails at the top of the mtn.

Ive also been determined in the past but once I get on vaca it seems to go "out the window". So who's coming along w/me?

Oh, ME!!!! ME!!!!!! I LOVE FRANCONIA NOTCH!!!!!

Barb, I just came back from a four day trip to NH and in 9 days time (four of which were in NH) I LOST 3.8 pounds!! First, I WROTE everything DOWN. It didn't matter that some things I didn't even know the WW points value, but writing it down made me far more aware of the choices I was making. I even ate small cups of frozen yogurt two days in a row when my family HAD to have ice cream cones.

The flume is 2 miles and as I recall a LOT of steps!!!!! So that is a good workout, and the Lost River ought to test your flexibility. So there is some of your exercise. Also if you stop at Lafayette Campground, there is a trail - The Pemi Trail that a portion of it runs from the Campground over to the Basin. It is a wonderful trail, a good workout, but not uphill, so not difficult. I don't know how long it is down to the basin and back, but the Rangers at the Campground could tell you AND give you a map of the trail, if you are looking for a "fun" workout. (Just pull into the campground, park your car in the lot, go into the building and ask the Ranger at the desk) I don't know how old your DS is, but he would probably enjoy it too!!! It runs along the Pemigewassat (sp?) River so it's a pleasant trail.

You CAN do this and stay on track. Make up your mind right now that when you get up there, this is NOT going out the window. And if you run into trouble, send me a PM and I can be up there in 3 hours!!!!!

I wanna come!!!

I just love vacations!

I know how you feel about going away. It's such a scary thought. I went to Williamsburg last weekend, and I did SO WELL! I ended up loosing 3.6 pounds.

Next weekend we are going to Boston. July 4-7th I am excited and scared at the challenge. I know I can do it though. DH says that he will help me make sure we eat at places that have foods that are OP. Luckily seafood should be bountiful there! I plan on taking snacks and something for breakfast that is low point. Plus with walking everywhere, it should help!

Have a great time! That sounds like such fun! I will send happy keeping on program vibes your way next weekend!

I want to go along. I would love to see that part of NH. We took the color train out of Crawford's Notch about 5 years ago, it was so beautiful there.

Hey Kath- I was just at Crawford Notch last weekend. We stopped and I got a peanut butter and jelly frozen yogurt! (I know it sounds horrid, but it was really quite yummy!)

Franconia is really beautiful, but it's sad now that the Old Man in the Mountain fell down.
