It's amazing how little control we really do have in our lives and how quickly our plans can change. I need to find my faith and better trust in Gods will.

So we're off to Hawaii tomorrow! It's crazy how fast it came and I hope that I can let go of all of this emotional junk and just enjoy myself and my husband. I'm sure as soon as I step off the plane, I'll be fine. I've dreamed of going to Hawaii for years and I'm not going ruin it for myself!
I must say that I am happy with my body. I have found so much appreciation for the blessing I have of good health and the oportunity I have had to learn so much about myself in my quest to "find my abs." Just because my trip will be over does not mean that I'm done working out. Now I will find new motivation and press forward. I'll let you know how the trip goes!! :)

Doing Better

So I'm still not back to normal... I'm fighting off a sore throat and eye issues still. What is with this?! I've never been sick this long before! I did work out five days this week though and I ate quite well. It's easier for me to eat healthy when I'm sick because I know that sugar prolongs the illness. In fact it's the first thing I cut out when I start feeling off.
TurboFire has been great! I've been a little sore even and I love that feeling. There's been a few days when I do the HIIT (high intensity interval training) workouts and I get done with a fire drill and I'm so out of breath and sweat is dripping down my face and tears come to my eyes. It's such a high! It's awesome to finish those things!
So five full days until we leave for Hawaii! I'm so stink'n excited I'm already losing sleep. I lay in bed and think about what I'm going to pack, what I need to get done before I leave, what the girls need packed, what I'm going to see while I'm there, what I'm going to do, and how much I'm going to love it! Then when I sleep I have crazy dreams about missing my flight and such. My husband told me I need to be careful or I'll be exhausted before we even leave! Haha.... He's right :) We got our snorkel gear in the mail yesterday so I dressed up in my swimsuit and gear just to get in the mood. (Like I needed help with that :)
In terms of my fitness goals though I didn't quite get where I was hopeing to be before I left but when I look in the mirror, I'm happy with what I see. I have issues with my digestive system though and it makes my stomach look more out of shape then it is so I recently started taking some digestive enzymes and it seems to be helping. Hopefully it helps even more in the next five days.
