Well, Portland was a huge success! I got off the plane not sure how my weekend with the family would go. Now, I LOVE my family more than anything and they have been my rock these past few years, but I was so scared on how I was going to fight the good fight to workout, eat right and not drink and TON. When we get together, as most families do, it revolves around great food, gallons of wine and laughter, lots and lots of laughter. While this is exactly what I needed, I also know that this would hinder my progress if I let it. I gave myself a two glass of wine limit and promised myself that I wouldn't even do the two glasses if I didn't need to.
Quick flash forward through the weekend. I kicked ass in a kickboxing class, took a huge long run down the coast and had perfect time to reflect on how much I've accomplished over the past year. My family and I rocked the Color Run and had a blast shaking color all over each other. Meals were no problem. Each meal was met with strict discipline and I overcame all food obstacles. The wine, well, I only have one glass per day and I was so proud.
My family was so full of excitement for me and this adventure. Questions, praise, support and love.... all things that made me feel like all this hard work has already been worth it and I crave more tough times ahead to prove that this is my new adventure and I'm ready for it!!
