I’m not quite sure what to do with myself. Last week we were in Charleston, SC for the Scottish Games, this week we are in Myrtle Beach,SC for the Fraternal Order of Police Conference. Boy I’m getting spoiled! I truly am at peace when I’m near the ocean. Just the shear lull of the surf pounding, the scent of salt in the air, and the sight of the seagulls gracefully soaring through the air makes my senses reel. The past two weeks have been lots of fun and believe it or not I have excercised more these two “vacations” than I ever have. I’ve been eating breakfast and doing my 5 mile walk(can you believe my 5 year old did it this morning). After our walk my son and I headed to the pool while his dad is in his meetings for the day.

Now I’ve indulged a few times but I haven’t over done it. Like last night at the banquet. I had two servings of the steamed veggies, 1 small slice of roast and 1 piece of chicken parmesean (no pasta). They had mashed potatoes, rice, and bread but I didn’t have any of those. Used to I’d have one of everything. Then….. the dessert….. omg! A fabulous piece of turtle pecan pie which I graciously shared with my 5 year old cause neither one of us needed a whole piece. lol.  Tonight is our last night here and we have tickets for what else  but an all u CARE to eat buffet.  Funny how they changed it to “all you care to eat ” instead of “all you can eat”. Does the wording really matter… after all it all comes down to choices and accountablility. I plan on having a light salad, boiled or grilled shrimp, and steamed veggies if they have them. Hopefully when it comes weigh in time on Monday I’ll have done myself justice this week and be a few pounds lighter.

Tomorrow we are taking Brenny to the Aquarium. I can’t wait to see his reaction to all of the fish swimming over his head.

Well it’s time for lunch. Gotta go find some grubb. You all have a great rest of the weekend.
