Almost vacation time!

Vacation is less than 2 weeks away and I can not wait to get back to my home away from home: Disneyland!!

Every time vacation is approaching I make plans about how much weight I can and want to lose before we go. I imagine how great I am going to look in pictures and when the time comes I haven't lost the weight.  And it then makes me very self conscious about my appearance in pics and videos.  I am SO looking forward to this trip and I am not going to let any lack of weight loss get in my way! In 2015 I was at Disneyland 3 times. May for the Tinker Bell Half, August just hubby and I for our Anniversary trip and then Oct for our BIG family trip with my little brother.  While each of these trips were great Aug and Oct involved temps over 100 most of the days.  It made for cranky kids and being over heated made me nauseated. And May was all focused on my the half Marathon and recovering from it and it was a short over the weekend trip.  This trip we have our FULL 5 nights in a big two bedroom villa and they are predicting our temps to be in the upper 70's to mid 80's! We won't be back to Disneyland for almost two years because next year we are planing to make our first ever trip to Disney World.  My Mom is then going to try to surprise my Dad with a trip to Hawaii for their 40th Anniversary and Hubby is like lets just take the kids with us and go with them.  Then late 2018 Star Wars land opens at Disneyland and we have to go back to see it.  While talking to Hubby I realized we are talking about the next 4 years of BIG vacations we have planned. I started thinking maybe we need a 4 year life plan.....

Let me tell you a little something about myself you may not know.  I HATE planning for things that take like longer than 6 months to complete.  Anything that is outside of that window frustrates me and makes me angry.  Like paying off debt or losing weight.  While I've realized that both these things are healthier over a longer period of time. I want the instant gratification and get frustrated so quickly when that doesn't happen. I know my year of health for 2016 may seem like a bust but the year isn't over yet.  I have plans for when I return from vacation and I am hoping vacation will give me the rest and energy to keep moving forward. So I am going to go love every second of my vacation and come back with a fresh mind and ready for some BIG picture LONG term changes and goals.  Are you ready?????
