The Return and Recap

Well - I'm back from another great trip to the World. Although the hardest part was missing Elizabeth and Amber as much as I did.

Okay - so here's a recap of four days. It'd be a longer post, but we're training our new employee today! Yes - we are helping the economy by hiring an administrative assistant.

I'll elaborate on this trip and the December trip more over the next weeks.

But for now - here are the cliff's notes:

Kidani Village - furthest room from the lobby.
Sanaa - great to see Jeff, Amanda and Justin.
Hollywood Studios - made it into the American Idol show - great dinner with everyone at Mama's.
WDW Half Marathon - side stitch - 7 mile pick up - fell below pace.
Meeting up with Andy and Sharla and the kids - so much fun reminiscing.
Watching the Marathon - and cheering for TV members and WDWRadio team members.
Flying home - upgraded to first class.

I learned what I need to do to accomplish my goal in 7 weeks at the Princess - and I have the tools to do it.

1) I've already worked out today.
2) I'm on 2200 calories a day again - strict.
3) I see my counselor on Friday.
4) I see my doctor a week from today.
5) With a new employee, I'll be less office stressed.

Basically - everything I need to go back in February and do better! As I told Amanda and Jeff - it is my sincerest hope that after the Princess Half we are celebrating my success in crossing the finish line once again.

EPCOT AWAITS!

  1. I've been following your story since MouseTunes, and you continue to inspire me. It hasn't been an easy road, but each time you make positive steps toward your health, it encourages me to do the same - find the time for the treadmill, do more crunches, make healthier food choices. Best wishes to you as you work toward the starting line. I'll be pulling for you.

  2. Keep it going! You CAN DO IT! Just gotta "dig a little deeper" and "Keep moving forward!"

  3. Pain sucks. I was watching the results for you and I want to thank you for updating us on what happened. I understand being forced to slow down due to pain and I want you to do better at the princess.
