A Great Place To Be

As the days wind down and the vacation comes to a close, I am neither saddened nor anxious to get home as I always am... realizing that I have everything I need in my heart right now.  And while I didn't depart from a heavy work schedule to get here, to treat yourself with such paradise should be a requirement as a human being.  I'd recommend selling your youngest child or a lung to get here, since it's that vital to your state of mind and well-being.  We have today and tomorrow and leave Saturday.

Yesterday's trip tired the hell out of me, and despite being exhausted, we pushed and went to the gym today.  I'm not sure where I am weight wise since I haven't gone buck-wild eating here, but I have had to make some not so healthy choices out of necessity.  I'm glad that we worked out every day except yesterday.  I feel so much better about myself, I can't even put it into words.  It's like I have shed the old me that's a stranger now, erased from my body and my mind.  What a healthy state to be in.  I'm not quite there and I'll be glad to be back home where I can control my workout and food intake more closely, but I'm proud of where I am in my progress.  Thanks for all the support and comments... it helps, but I'm just trying to expose myself... not in a open trenchcoat kind of way, but more in a qualifying way to myself.

I'm off to the pool.  I have no patience for laying out in the sun, but with the pool only a matter of a few feet away and the ocean a little beyond that, It's tough to not take it in.
