Oh Monday's....

I haven't updated in almost a week... so sorry for the delay ... I missed the pic of the week last week so I guess I'll throw it all into one blog...

Things have been crazy, as I'm sure you can imagine. Between coping with Jess, work, tri-training, etc I feel like my head is continually spinning around on my neck. Hopefully this week I can get back to some sense of normalcy.... normal being realitive.

First - good news - I'm going HERE in August with Cayla. YUP! Hawaii baby... I've never been, always wanted to, so I'm going. I bought my ticket last week and I'm going... August 4 - 9 you can find me basking on the beach in Kona...I'm sure something will happen on our trip that will be blog worthy so I'll try to update.. unless I'm asleep or tipsy on the beach... then you will have to deal with waiting until I get back. However; tipsy would also make for a good post..I don't think I've "drunk blogged"... could be interesting...I'll make sure spell check is active.

So I'm super excited about vacation - I can't wait....

and now it's Tuesday... I started this yesterday but got tied up with work and wasn't able to finish my post...

So where was I ... OH THAT'S RIGHT I'M GOING TO HAWAII! Jealous yet? Have I mentioned it enough yet?

My pic of the week for last week is a before and after...

Before:














DRUM ROLL PLEASE....



AFTER:




















I can't believe it! I feel amazing - I've done a triathlon (about to do a second and third) Cayla has done 2 (b/c I missed the registration... remember HERE)

It has been amazing to have a goal and stick with it. Cayla has inspired and motivated me in ways I never thought possible. We were riding our bikes a few weekends ago at the lake and I said to her... "Did you ever think 1 year ago we would be riding our bikes around Grapevine lake?" and she said "No, but i love it" and I said "me too"

Somethings are better shared with other people... and this is one of them!
