No Pain No Gain (Or Loss)

7.5 lbs lost so far. And let me tell you I'm feeling every fiber in my arm muscles today. Literally, I can't lift my elbows higher than my chest. And we won't even begin to discuss how much my ass hurts. The incline on the tredmill was 10.0. And I must make funny faces because my trainer kept laughing at me. My muscles were so tired last night it was impossible to wash my hair. Or style it this AM so its up in a clip and I don't care how I look. Well I do... but not about my hair. I'm leaving on vacation tomorrow and I don't want to be at work. Plus I'm a little queesy due to my headache despite my hour of acupuncture this am so maybe I'm also a little crabby.

I'm not sure why we booked a 9:00AM flight but maybe that will mean we'll be able to hit a park or see friends for dinner tomorrow night. Or laze by the pool because its supposed to be 85 in Florida tomorrow and it was 32 this AM in Chicago. If we had rain we could have had snow. Or take a really nice nap - in fresh sheets on an enormous bed.

But here is my dilemna - what shoes to bring. I'm not a "shoe person" like my Mom and Sister in Law are. That being said though we are bringing just our carry ons and I'm concerned I'm not going to have enough room for my shoes. I want to bring my shape ups and gym shoes but then I need flip flops and flats to match my Snow White Costume. Thats 4 pairs! Craziness. The nice thing about staying at our timeshare is we have a washer and dryer in unit so we don't have to bring 7 outfits. But I do have to bring work out clothes. The entire trip is planned around eating so in order not to backslide I have to get out of bed and hit the gym before we go to the park.

We are very much looking forward to this trip. Aside from our honeymoon this is the first real vacation we have taken by ourselves. I don't count blizzards as vacation - unless they are the kind in a cup. We mapped out our days and even decided to thrown in a trip to Universal Studios and Medieval Times - all bought with timeshare points! I've lived within 20 minutes of a Medieval Times for 15+ years and have never been! So have a good week and I'll be back with lots of yummy looking pictures of food and wine (and tequila).
