I'm baaaaack

So, back from vacation (sadly), and if I were to fill this blog with the wonders of my work out adventures last week, well this would be the end of today's blog.  So, instead, I am thinking about traveling.  No I'm not headed out on another vacation, but I sure would love to be.  I think secretly I desire to be a travel agent in life.  I find any spare minute on the computer being filled with hunting deals and such for vacation destinations.  Where would I like to go you ask?  well the list starts, but isn't limited toooooo: Charleston, Hilton Head, Bald Head Island, Savannah, NYC, Florida (beaches and of course Disney World!!!!), cruising the Caribbean, Bahamas, Keys, Australia, Puerto Rico again, Napa and Sonoma, Greek Isles, Fiji.  Those are just at the top of my list.

I mean...really....who wouldn't want this???

So here is my theory....I need to become a travel agent for a number of reasons.  I can get great deals on vacations.  I can travel more than I get to now because of not really having time off, and much of the travel would be considered research for work!!!!!  In a dream world right??  So, for now, I will just sit in my office, and continue to dream about having my toes in the sand weeks at a time without a worry in the world!!

Anywho, enough of the dreaming for now and back to the world of having 400 bosses and a stand full of puppets staring at me while I work!!!

It has been a week, and I am happy to say I am excited to get back to the gym!!  Lets be honest, who would have ever thought those words would come out of my fingers.  I weighed myself and happily am just up .5lbs from vacation.  So for that I am thankful.  Friday will be another weigh day, and today we get back on track!!!

9 Lives

Soooooo, today was weigh day of course.  I have had such a busy week getting ready for vacation and finishing up loose ends at work so I can be gone, I don't feel like I have done as well.  I always hate not cooking at home as much.  But I guess when you have 3 nights of work when you don't get home before 9, the thrill of cooking for some reason just isn't there!!

Anywho, this morning what I thought was going to be the throne of doome, ended up being friendly and saying I lost 2.5 more bringing the total up to 18.5.  The goal was 20 before vacation, but in the words of Shrek "That'll do Donkey, That'll do"!!  So I am very pleased.

I am excited about our fam plans to work out while on vacation though.  Between running (or light joggin for myself), the eliptical, walks on the beautiful beach, it shouldn't be a total wash out.  Nothing is more frustrating that working so hard to loose weight, just to blow it on vacation.  Okay, so I can think of a couple of things more frustrating, like a ticket when you know you weren't speeding and you were wearing your seat belt, or sitting next to someone on a plane with really bad gas on a long flight....but since the others aren't so much issues at this moment, the weight thing wins.  So though I will not weigh while on vacation, we are stocked with healthy snacks, work out clothes, bottled water, skinny margaritas, and of course beer and chips and salsa!!!  All the essentials!!

Se La Ve large metropolis of Albemarle, We are headed to florida!!!!

This is so me for the next week!!!
