We leave for Hawaii tomorrow, for 10 days, and not a minute too soon. I hope not to open the computer much on our trip so I most likely won't post anything for the next week and a half, if all goes well.
And I haven't written much this week, either, mainly because I haven't let myself calm down and breathe much, which was part of the initial purpose of the blog. All in all, though, I'm doing allright. I'm maintaining with food and have gotten past several big moments of temptation and I've been in a good groove with most other things. I'm moving along, in other words, and working hard to keep going, and cannot wait to lose myself in my family and the beach and fresh pineapple juice and maybe even actually read a book or two (!) I have to get past the flight anxiety and my superstitious karmic pessimism, ie. the idea that anytime I actually let myself look forward to something it will be horribly ruined as a lesson in humility and a reminder about the how the universe actually works--but other than that I'm primed and ready to go.
The vacation is a great time to start an exercise routine. Take long walks on the beach and swim with the family in the ocean/pool. It is so hard to get into the groove of exercising, but once you do, you actually like it and then it becomes much easier to keep the exercising up. If you get into the habit in Hawaii, hopefully you'll take that habit home with you. And it doesn't take a lot of exercise to get into shape.
ReplyDeleteThanks Christi, that's good advice...but how would you know what to do when travelling to exotic locations? You Grabs are such homebodies. ;-)
