Getting back to the basics AND Vacation Countdown!

It's been a while since I've posted.  Mostly because I have been SLAMMED with work.  Busy with so many events, and even starting to branch out and travel a little bit.  I was nervous about traveling at first but after my first trip I loved it.  Despite being totally exhausted it was nice to get outside my comfort zone and the normal routine. 

Pelican Hill at Newport Beach- My favorite work destination so far!

Even though I have been slammed with work I'm pleased to say I haven't gained any weight.  But I also haven't lost any.  I decided I was ready to get back in to running again.  I was still running here and there but not on a consistent basis.  So I decided to get back to the basics and start with the couch to 5K program again.  It's been great because it forces me to run up the hills in my neighborhood which are a beast!  I was a strong runner not too long ago and am working to get back to that place again.....if not stronger than before.  When I'm not running 3 days a week I am in the gym.  Gotta build muscle because muscle burns fat....and I have plenty to burn still. 

Vacation is upon us in the Kluge household.  We are leaving in 16 days for Walt Disney World in Florida!  Words cannot describe how excited I am about this trip.  I will probably cry the first time my daughter sees Cinderella's castle.  We have planned and saved for a long time for this trip.  Planning a Disney trip is like having a full time job.  You have to be so organized and prepared to make the most of it. 

I've been reading a lot of blogs about Disney and based on what I've read, we will be walking an average of 7 miles a day. This makes my legs tired just thinking about it.  HOWEVER, I've also read that the average weight loss on a Disney trip is 5 pounds.  BRING IT ON!  With that being said, my goal is to lose 3 pounds before we leave.  I'm being realistic because I'd really love to lose 5 pounds but I know my stubborn body and 3 pounds is more likely. 

Hope everyone is having a great summer!
