I cannot believe that in 6 days I will be on a jet-plane to France, with my mother, to see cherished friends and a beloved country. I have been up-to-date on the latest weather conditions- sounds like it will still be brisk and cool. We have Price-Lined our hotel for 3 days- mainly for comfort and not so much for location. And of course the rest of our stay we will be provided for by my dear friends. My good friend Isabelle will be picking us up from the airport with a friend, then we are on our own for 3 days. My host-mother's brother, Jean-Paul Stenac will be looking for us Thursday @ 9:30 am- taking us to the country-side. There we will have 4 days of rest, relaxation and fun!
As for the preparations, I have selected 2 pieces of luggage and surprisingly can fit most of my wardrobe in the suitcase. The smaller bag will contain gifts, snacks, and cosmetics. I thought about buying new shoes- but think I should stay with my well-worn New Balance shoes.
Just need to get our gifts together and we're good!

DAY #5
Whew, hard day! 4 yr. old has run herself into the ground (she's very busy and very active) and is one her 3rd major meltdownfor the day. Baby is teething, nothing is making her happy tonight. Caught myself looking for little miniature chocolates we used to keep in the liquer cabinent- none there. Then I grabbed a couple fat strawberries and loaded them up w/lite cool-whip. (Thank goodness for Cool-Whip!). Broke my perfect "26" daily points today and went over by 4. (Not even sure how- but I think it was the 6 pt. snack I had out of the vending machine in between running the kiddos to swimming and summer tutoring- didn't have my carrots woth me today:() Weigh-in is Thursday- so hope I can be good till then.
A cool treat that has helped me out this week is:
1 individual serving Weight Watchers "Berries and Cream" yogurt (1 pt.)
2 diced strawberries (0 points)
1/2 cup lf or ff cottage cheese (1 pt.)
1 tablespoon Cool-Whip (0)
I know the combinations seem weird- but it really is tasty, and fills up a whole bowl!

HI THERE!
Dear Blog Diary,
I am starting this to help me drop a few lbs. this summer. I've been battling this most of my adult life. I am trying to follow WW (Weight Watchers) on-line. I've finally discovered that in order for me to lose weight I have to stick to my daily points of 26- no more- even though they say you can earn activity points and take from a 35 point weekly allowance. I will gain weight if I do this, but will lose if I have a perfect "26".
3/3/07- Starting weight 215
6/17/07- Today's weight- 194
