30 days to Mexico

Its February 10th today and on March 9th I have decided (with my husband's approval of course) to take our large complicated family to Mexico for a vacation. Not only do I have the normal fears of a 40 year old woman about to stuff her pasty white body into a bikini, but I have to pack and plan for an 11 year with type 1 diabetes, a fresh 13 year old daughter who is super particular about swim suits, my 14 year old super sweet teen son and of course a 15 year old step-daughter and her other half (aka her BFF).

So I thought I would start a blog and start to prepare.

Maybe you can relate... may you will laugh - we will see.

First step today is to work on the physical presentation of my 40 year old body and that of my 46 year old husband.

He was told dad bods are in however I know he would prefer a slight reduction in the "dad' portion of his "bod" so he is engaged in this process as well.

This will be a little experiment of efforts so if this works for you also then glad I could flubber through it.

Oh by the way I really love my bottles of wine and so that may be the most uncomfortable part of these next 30 days. But here we go: Step 1 - substitute wine at dinner for water!
