OK, so now I am totally freaking out!
Rudy's Mom has offered (if it all works out, of course) to take our entire family to Madeira, Portugal for 17 days over Christmas from Dec 17th to Jan 4th. We'd be renting some kind of place while there and spending lots of time with Rudy's Uncle by marriage's family (Dino grew up there).
I'm terrified. I've never traveled further than Alberta to the East of me and Southern California to the South.
Rudy's aunt is not as big as me, and their pet name for her is "El Gorgo"
I'm just so scared because I've been in this terrible gaining funk....I want to start NOW so I can lose as much as possible before going over there.
I lost 40 pounds in 5 months last year, and now I have about 5 months until this possible trip.....what to do????
