Goin’ on Vacation

But I will have my computer with me (thank goodness) and will post. I have never needed a vacation so bad! I’ve been working a lot and doing some home improvement projects. I really feel like I’ve been moving non-stop.

Much of that non-stop movement has been part of an effort to burn more calories in a day. After crunching all of those numbers it has consumed my thoughts. I move more because I want to be able to eat more!

This is the first real vacation for me since I’ve started this website. I’m nervous and excited all at once. Going on vacation has always been about eating. Junkie, fattening, yummy food, is predominately what’s available to you when you’re away from home.

Vending machines and snack stands scream out to me when I’m in the airport passing time, for at least two hours prior to departure. When I feel like I’m starving to death on the endless flight, the only thing that will satiate my hunger is life sustaining Cheetos. (Which, by the way, I haven’t had in months!)

Once I arrive to my destination there will be parties with relatives,... chips, and dip. Then we’ll be headed down the shore. On past vacations, I never hit up a gas station without refueling on chips and soda. And what about the beach and coolers full of junk for multiple picnics throughout the day? Dinner out every night, because who wants to cook when you’re on vacation. I almost forgot the PIÈCE DE RÉSISTANCE,... the boardwalk!!!! I’m talkin’ funnel cakes, cotton candy, cheese fries, and anything else you can put on a stick and fry.

I have a lifetime of traditions to battle over the next two weeks. It will be quite the challenge. I’m glad that I’ve had almost five months to prepare.

I will keep you posted every step of the way.
