Decisions, decisions...



Mexico is calling my name...  Somehow manifesting a seat sale isn't going to get me there! I went to Mexico last year to visit one of my dearest friends. It was wonderful hanging out in the sun :) It was also where my journey to health began. As I sat on the beach I was surrounded by hard bodies that completely made me look like a beached whale! I recall coming home and looking at all my pictures thinking 'who the %^&* is that?' It was horrible, but at the same time it was a gift! After that moment I promised myself that I would make some changes towards a healthier me.

So, I started walking, going to circuit, and doing what I could to keep active. My goal for the year was 20lbs, but... Of course life happens and things didn't turn out the way I planned, but I did well enough! I quit smoking, and lost four pounds doing it! That my follower (lol) is an accomplishment! Each time I have quit smoking  I have gained 20lbs. This time around was no different :) So, I like to look at this year as a successful 24 lbs. gone... for good!

So, should I stay or should I go? I have always said that I wouldn't go to the same place twice unless I absolutely loved it. As much as I loved Mexico, I think I want to go to the East coast. I also want to go with my roommate. As big as our problems are, he is a blast to travel with when we don't have our children with us. He is motivating, fun and is just as excited about seeing something new as I am. He also has a strange ability to meet other people. Something I have never been very good at. Besides, he deserves it! He has to put up with me! lol Yes, I think I have made up my mind. The decision has been made. I am going to skip my trip to Mexico and I am  going to bring him... somewhere new :)

  1. I hear ya about the weight, easy to gain and hard to lose! I struggle with trying to fit in to my "pre-baby" clothes and not wanting to buy a whole new "bigger" wardrobe......but food tastes so good and the couch is too comfy!!
    I love to travel too.....I am researching relocating to south america over the next two years! My honey wants to go as do I - so it is in the plans and only we can make it happen!
    Plus, like yourself, I love the warmth and sunshine!!!
