Cali, Baby!

I just booked my flight to California to visit my brother at the end of July!!! Heading out on a Wednesday, coming back on a Monday, I'm ridiculously excited about it. It's the 6-Man Tournament that weekend, plus there's an international surfing competition at the beaches, too.  I'm mostly looking forward to having a full weekend out there (sun, sushi, Santa Monica... I'm just looking forward to all of it.)  It'll be good to see my brother, hopefully everything I'm working on will fall into place by then, however, I am instating Operation: Get Ready Go.

This consists of me picking the healthy option 95% of the time at the restaurant, drinking more water, eating small, healthy snacks and smaller meals, and getting my large backside to the gym on a consistent basis.  I was doing well for a while there, then everything kind of went to hell.  It's now Friday, I haven't been since Saturday of last week, and I'm not going to get a chance to go before Monday, and might not even on Monday depending on how late things run.  If all goes according to plan, I could safely lose up to 30 lbs by my flight out, something that would be an amazing accomplishment for me.  I'd like to make it a solid 20, but I'm going to aim high and work my ass off.  If I can lose those 30, then I 'll be back in my realm of "healthy" weight for my height, I'd like to lose another 10-15 after that just to get myself safely within that boundary.  I feel like I say this all the time, that I'm going to "really" do it this time, but for some reason this feels different.  I've got a lot going for me right now in my life, I'm on the brink of making a major life change if all things go accordingly.

Why not create a new me physically while I'm reinventing the me I want to be?
