As I find myself beginning to embark on a nice mini vacation I'm reflecting on what I have done the past week and a half. My energy levels have shot up through the roof. I'm excited to be active again in whatever capacity that is available. I'm staying away from most temptations and really watching the calories that I'm putting into my body.

This weekend I'm going to be out of town almost the entire time. I'm going to visit my girlfriend's family. I met her parents for the first time last week on their visit to Orlando and now I'm going to meet the rest of her clan in their backyard. I'm also going to be all over South Florida as we link up with old friends and catch up on the times. I know there will be plenty of opportunity to go overboard and I do plan on indulging in some adult beverages. The challenge will be the make sure that I can account for these added empty calories and not go overboard in other areas. Also, finding a calorie burn will be rather difficult since I won't have many options there. Maybe I can convince her to go on longer walks depending on where we are at.

Anyways, one more work day until I'm on break for 5 days.

Happy Thursday!
