Details to come!

Is it Saturday yet?

Happy Thursday, friends!

My legs are like lead right now… and I didn’t even do cardio yesterday! Well, except a low intensity incline walk on the dreadmill.  It was forced.

This week has flown by! We are leaving for vacation on Saturday (YEE HAW!), so I figured the week would drag ass… I guess when you are busting your ass on the Arc Trainer (I’ve been making it my bitch! ), working on the deck (well, Seth has been doing most of the work… like 99% of it), and stuffing face with dinners out and washing them down with booze (yeah, my pre-vacay diet has gone to the crapper… but it’s been fun!!), the time just flies right by! (Seriously, who decides to eat a ginormous 1,000 calorie Homewrecker from Moe’s just a couple nights before leaving to don a bikini for a week? – but we had a coooouuuupon. I won’t even mention the free chips and salsa.)

I am in desperate need of a vacation. I need to rest and recharge. It’s been a stressful and eventful year… and it will be almost one year (off by a couple weeks) since my nephrectomy! AND, when we get back, I will be allowed to hit the weights again.  I have missed the gym almost HALF of the past 12 months.  It’s been strange. I will have to relearn my body, but I am definitely ready and willing! I feel like this vacation is the end of a chapter… and when I return, I will be able to start the next one with a bang! I am determined to make the end of 2011 the bomb dot com. Yeah, I said the bomb dot com. So what?

Now I have a few to-dos to take care of before my trip. I started on the packing list this morning. Please tell me that I am not the only one who likes to doodle their lists? Of course, I probably won’t do this for my toiletries and other items, but sketching out my clothes helps! It made me realize that I needed to add a few things, and I can omit others.

Six swimsuits?! Yeah… I don’t like putting on wet and cold swimwear. No thank ya!

 

What are some things you do to prepare for a trip?
