I am off to the beach for a nice beach house vacation! There will be booze, and BBQ type foods, but I am going to make sure not to eat too much crap and drink too many high calorie/sugary mixers. I’d just bring my Nutrisystem food, but I enjoy a nice meal once a week. Not to say that Nutrisystem is not nice, it’s just not something you particularly crave if you get my drift.
