Got my travelling pants

I’ve already explained I’m continuing to work to reach my goal of losing another 25 pounds. It’s still going very, very, very slowly. So slowly as to be not moving at all.

I’m also trying to keep the activity level up. It’s difficult and I’m only doing “o.k.” at it. I’ll keep on trying.

As for being the boss of me – I’m paying more attention to making sure I get my needs met, my ideas heard, and doing what I want. Not easy as I have a long tradition of being a door mat, but I am finding ways to being more in charge of me.

And happily it’s already looking like a year where I’ll do even more travelling. First trip will be at the end of February to Orlando. I’m hopeful it’ll be with a couple of friends.

Then China in May. CHINA! Amazing. So out of my comfort zone. What’s helping is going with friends, as I’m not sure I’d go on my own. We’re just in the planning stages, but I’ve already got my ticket to Beijing. We want to work in Shanghai and Hong Kong. I hope that some of the travel will be by train. I get all happy flushed just thinking about it.

And we’ve also talked about London, Amsterdam, and Copenhagen for July.  I’m really eager to go back to London, and I’m loving the idea of touring Amsterdam and Copenhagen. They’ll be a few train trips in there, too.

And, of course, I want to go to New York again. Don’t know exactly when, and finances will be a huge factor on determining when and how I go. All I’m sure of at this point, is want to go again … and again … and again.

So, I’m even more serious about losing weight and keeping the activity level up. I don’t want to miss out on anything and I want to make sure I’m as healthy as I can be to get maximum enjoyment out of every moment on each trip.
