Tripping out.
I’m just SO excited today about my upcoming trip to California. I leave on July 18, 41 days from now, and it will be the first time in forever that my dear, darling husband and I have gone away together. We are staying in Monterey and planning to hit all the best hiking trails in the Big Sur area — and there are alot of spectacular trails. The only things to worry about on the trip are poison oak, rattlesnakes, ticks, mountain lions, and black bears. And, really, who is afraid of that stuff? As long as I have my good-luck hat with me, I’m sure I’ll be fine.
So I’m working hard every single day to be as fit and light as I can be before this wonderful trip. We just had our 5th wedding anniversary last weekend and this trip is an extended part of that celebration. And it will be a wonderful reward for all the hard work so far, as well as a reason to continue to take good care of myself. I’d really like to lose another 10 pounds at least before we go, so I’m aiming to be 159 the day we fly. I’d feel so GREAT getting on the plane at that weight. So I need to keep my focus and just keep doing what I’m doing. California here I come!
Your vacation plans sound WONDERFUL! Be sure to get some awesome hiking shorts that do justice to your fabulous gams (as my dad used to call them).
& then I recommend hiking anywhere there aren’t any snakes, NO SNAKES!…so, I’m thinking you could do some extended hikes in your hotel lobby, in the downtown area, maybe you could find a nice mall (provided there’s no pet store). Point being…NO SNAKES!
& if it were me who stumbled on that terrifying “cute” snake in my yard…well, I guess I’d have to move or burn the house down. Ewwwwwww!
Of course, I guess you could outrun & out muscle any reptiles you stumbled upon.
California - that sounds fun! I myself am a native Californian and went back last year after not being there for 18 years. It’s beautiful out there - I’m sure you’ll have a great time.
and the added bonus of feeling much lighter and more fit will surely make you have even a better time!
WTG!
So delighted for you, this sounds like the most wonderful holiday. Another 10lbs gone and you will be flying!
[...] leave for Big Sur/Monterey this Friday and back in this post on June 7, I mention how I’d really like to weigh at least 159 before I fly. So I surpassed that goal [...]
