Last Day of Vacation

I can't believe our last day is here even though it feels like I've been gone for a month.  Always the sign of a great vacation when I feel like its lasted forever.  I'm feeling very bittersweet about going home.  Anyone that knows me knows that Florida is where my heart is, I love it here and hope to live here permanently some day.  I love the weather, the people, the pace, everything....Even though we didn't have the best weather for the first week it was still an amazing vacation.  I love, love, love watching my kids outside getting all this fresh air, playing on the beach every day, going to great restaurants at night, bbqs in our backyard, swimming in our pool, visiting family.  Its just all so good.  The only good thing about coming home is getting back to my routine.  I need to get my eating back on schedule, get back to the gym.  But I am happy I had the break from everything and I'm rejuvenated and ready to get back into action.
Down here my eating is totally off schedule - I haven't eaten breakfast once in the 2 weeks we have been here, just lunch, supper and a small afternoon snack.  I've eaten too much cheese, too much pasta. We have done lots of walking but I only got 3 runs in.  Our suppers have generally been fairly healthy but my lunches have reverted back to my bad habits, diet pepsi, sandwich, chips..so I've just enjoyed each day and once home will have to detox my body back into its healthy clean lifestyle.  Im ready for that.
Last night we went to a charity event at Saks that was just wonderful.  Saks is quite a small store in Tampa so it was heavenly to have hours to just roam around and look at absolutely everything.  There were cocktails, great food stations, silent auctions, anything you purchased 10 percent of it went to the charity - I may have made a few purchases...hehe.....just a really great evening.
Today is our final day and the weather is a bit crap which is unfortunate.  Its warm but really overcast and rainy off and on - we are hoping to get a few hours at our pool before we go out to one last dinner tonight and then fly back to Toronto tomorrow afternoon.
My next post will be on Sunday after I weigh myself - very interested to see how Ive made out considering my vacation behaviour!!!
