Excuses excuses…
I have been on vacation for almost 2 weeks.
It started a couple Wednesdays ago when my husband and I flew into Ft. Lauderdale for his comedy gig in West Palm Beach, FL. The gigs were Thursday-Sunday, and in between, we visited family. (We both have family in South Florida.) We were there from Wednesday til Monday.
On Monday, we drove to Miami for fun, and stayed there til Tuesday.
On Tuesday afternoon, we left Miami and drove north all day across the state to Ocala, FL. Our destination was actually Old Town, FL, near Gainesville, to visit my favorite Uncle and Aunt (they live in the boondox), but we spent the night in Ocala, and continued on our way to Old Town Wednesday morning.
When we got there on Wednesday (first day of 52DC), they fed us an amazing homecooked Southern meal that couldn’t be refused since they went out of their way to buy and prepare it for us. We stayed until Wednesday/Thursday 12am.
On Wednesday/Thursday 12am, we drove 3 hours to Orlando to catch an early morning Thursday flight, final destination being Sun Valley, ID.
On Thursday, we had 3 stops: Orlando to Atlanta to Salt Lake City to Boise. Being in airports all day, we lived on Airport Food, and I did not eat clean. (52DC Day 2)
We then drove 3 hours from Boise to Sun Valley. (Again, road trip food consisted of McDonald’s french fries to help with the nausea.) My hubby had more comedy gigs in Sun Valley, and since it’s also Valentine’s day weekend, we decided to make a vacation of it with two of our really good friends (another couple). The guy is a fellow comedian.
If you’ve read this far, you will see that we’ve been ON THE RUN!! We hardly slept Wednesday OR Thursday due to traveling and visiting with family, and we suffered from major jetlag.
By Thursday evening, we were zombies. However, I got great sleep finally on Thursday night, and Friday the 13th was our first well rested day and the FIRST day I actually did anything to work toward my 52DC goals. (52DC Day 3) I had 1 clean eat and 1 cardio training.
Today is Valentine’s Day, and again I’m purposely not doing anything towards my goals, especially with all the Valentine’s Chocolates and yummy dinners. Also, we don’t want to exercise today because we don’t have time. We’d rather enjoy all the beautiful sights here in Sun Valley.
So that’s where I am now, and it is beautiful!! But… I can’t wait to get serious and start kicking serious a$$ starting Monday after all the traveling is said and done. =)

Darn - going to our place in West Palm next week - would have enjoyed your husband’s comedy. My son did stand up for two years. I never laughed. His biggest pay check was free beer.
These are wonderful memories. Make new ones around your 52DC goals. But laugh while you can.
