Watch out Guatamala!

Here I come! I'm going on a super exiciting adventure trip to Guatamala in October. I just love to travel but I usually do it in luxury. This experience will be a bit different, but I'm very excited. It's 7 days. The first day is traveling to Guatamala and getting settled into your hotel. The next day you get on a bike and ride around to different Mayan ruins (something I've done a lot of research on and would love to see the ones in Guatamala). The next day you hike up a volcano and that evening you sleep in a crater under the stars. The day after that you hike back down. The next day involves kayaking in a beautiful forest to a private beach house on the ocean. We stay at the private beach house that evening and the next day swim in the ocean then kayak back. The last day is sightseeing day!

Boy am I going to have to do some serious body work to get myself in shape for this trip. Because it's in October I'm anticipating being down at least another 70 pounds, so that would leave but 30 pounds to get to my FINAL goal. I was 160 pounds in high school and I looked really good so I think this is the weight I'm supposed to be at. I don't necessarily think this trip will mean being super skinny, but I do think it will mean I need to be in cardiovascular shape to handle the hiking, bike riding, swimming and kayaking.

So this means I'm doing the cruise in May, the family reunion in August and the Guatamala trip in October. This year's going to be a good one... I can tell.

The incredible shrinking woman

I must admit, I can see a difference, albeit a small one. I'm about 40 pounds down now, so this picture is 5 pounds ago.
