Europe, here I come!
I leave two weeks from today! I can’t believe it! This morning I am up for my weekly coffee date at Insomnia. Next week is Spring Break, so I will be sleeping in. And the following week…SPAIN!!! I can’t believe that it’s here! (well, almost!)
I’m ready for a vacation! I’m glad that this week is going to be sunny and beautiful, so that I can enjoy Hillsboro before I go! Plus, next week is Spring Break, which you know is just super fun for me, because everyone is out of school, and we get to play! Then, when everyone goes back, and I sit sad and alone…I will turn my attention to packing and say “SEE YA!”
I’m starting to get really excited!
The only problem is, this is a hard time to leave. I have a lot of friends going through some tough stuff right now, and I want to be here for them. This is the time when I have to remember that they are in God’s hands, not mine. HE is taking care of them. And I can keep praying, wherever I am.
Also, 2 babies will be born while I am gone. One being my little baby nephew, “Fluffy”.
It will be hard to miss that, but this is an experience that I won’t get again. So, take it while I can, right? RIGHT!
Why do I have such a hard time leaving? It’s only 10 days!
So, in preparation, I have fulfilled my goals (other than knocking out sugar!) Although, I have cut back!
I've made it to the gym or been exercising at least 3 times a week, and been eating better. I'm in much better shape than when I began, even though it's been less than a month. I haven't lost any weight, but I feel WAY better! And, I haven't had a pop since I got my kidney stone over a month ago. It has surprised me how hard and how easy it has been to give up pop. Generally it's easy, but when I want it, when I go out to eat, it's surprised me that it has been so difficult!
So, I've got two more weeks, to keep getting in shape, and I am ready to go! I can't wait!
My friend Julia (who I met at Mizzou) went through a dramatic weight loss that has changed her life completely. She sees it as a lifestyle change, and it really is, and that is what helped her get through cutting out unhealthy diet choices as well as motivating her to exercise regularly.
ReplyDeleteI hope even after spain trip you continue on your lifestyle change, because as you have found out you just start feeling better!
Here is her blog where she talks about this lifestyle change that may help you in the difficult spots!

ReplyDeleteHave you seen Emily Stroeve? She's done the same! She looks incredible, and is feeling great! I've seen a lot make the change, and now it's my turn! Thanks for the encouragement!
