It is only a couple days till we go to Hawaii. Yes, it sounds exciting and trust me I'm jacked. Here is how we see it in our minds. We party and stay up late having a great time.
The reality. We will probably be in bed by 10, well maybe 10:30, if we really hit the town hard and we will be up early to catch the morning buffet at Dukes.
Our college bodies are telling us to party like it was 2001, but our parent minds are telling us we have a bunch of beaches to lay on so you better relax.
To be honest, I hope we are able to hang with the young folks. I'm not saying I have something to prove, but we don't have the kid and all this time to ourselves.
We need to make it count. Who knows when the next time this will happen again.

Dang you Food...and Beer!
My arch nemesis is undoubtably food and some beer. I have a weakness for sweets and every once in a while I dip into the alcohol pool. I really don't see anything wrong with these - unless you're training for another marathon.
I am into my training routine but with bowls of candies and friends urging me to partake in just one drink life seems to be getting more difficult.
I have been able to abstain for the most part. I have cut out sweets almost entirely and have restricted my drinking to red wine only.
These two vices have loosened their grip, but with friends like mine there is no telling what may happen. I hope one day they will just let it go and just assume that I am always in some type of training routine. This would help say no much easier.
I've really put my foot down this time. I am not out to lose a bunch of weight. I just want to be the healthiest I can be. One day there won't be times in my life where I can just shed pounds by running 10 or 12 miles. It will become burdensome to lose a single pound.
My knee is getting better. I have to make myself ride the bike, but in the end I feel better because cycling is a great way to help knees recover. I will keep both of you posted on the progress. I am going to attempt to update at least once a week. Till then wheres the cupcakes?
