Vacation

For many reasons, I am more than excited for my getaway next week. I'm counting down the days-5! I can't wait! I leave, I come home for just under 2 weeks, and then am back on the plane to travel the world! When I come home, I have big changes awaiting me. I feel excitement and relief! My life is in motion, and boy does it feel good!

On another note...

I weigh in on Tuesday, and am praying that I may have dropped 2 more lbs. If I did, I will make my 50 mark! So exciting! Then I can relax, and focus on training for the half marathon. If not, I am now realizing how soon I will be back from my trips, so my health will be back on track before I know it! Until then, I am going to enjoy coffee and pastries, and knowing that I have made a long term difference in my life. I'm not worried about gaining too much weight on my trips, because I think I have made an over all change in my health, and I don't think my body will let me. Plus, one of the things I am looking forward to is running in the park in Pamplona. It's little things like that, that make me realize how far I've come in the time of a year.

Today is my one year anniversary of the kidney stone that changed my life. What a day it has been! What crazy year this has been! The best part, is that I made this life change for me. Not for my Grandma, not for my family or friends, but for me. No more kidney stones! And I just can't even begin to explain how I'm feeling this last month. My self confidence has returned, and I am enjoying life to the fullest...even with the recent valleys.

I feel like I'm writing/rambling too much today. It's just a great day of reflection. This isn't for anyone else, just for me and my joy!
