Longboat Key at Sunset. The girl next to me is a triathlete and I never meant to have a picture of my ass taken standing next to her :)
The majority of these girls I hadn't seen in 20 years. We do not look like a bunch of almost 40 year olds. Can't believe I grew up in such a pretty place.Another weekend, another short trip to Florida! This time for a baby shower for a high school friend which turned into the high school reunion I missed last October. We had such a great time and I was very happy that the one of us who became a millionaire that was the one who threw the shower! Nothing like a free weekend in a beach house with a catered party! :)
Once again, I had about an hour to float around in the Gulf. The week leading up to my trip was hard and stressful and I just couldn't shed the anxiety, even though I was exercising. I had quite a few xanax last week which I only use for "emergencies". Today I'm relaxed again and I owe it all to the beach! I say this every time I come back but some day I will end up back there again.
I'm looking forward to being back in the gym tonight. Not dreading it at all which is odd. Maybe it's because I'm so relaxed. Maybe it's starting to finally become a habit. For now I will keep exercising after work until I have a minute to figure out how to afford the Y.
Looking forward to catching up. Hope you all are having a great week!!

Wow, what a gorgeous place to vacation! I agree, y'all look WONDERFUL!!!
ReplyDeleteHow cool that you are looking forward to the gym tonight! Great mindset - and yes, maybe it comes with relaxation, or being "ready" - but whatever, go with it!
LOVE the beach! Looks gorgeous...and you all look great too :)
ReplyDeleteI envy you people that learn to like the gym!
You guys look like you had an awesome time! Great pictures of you, and that beach is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou know when you start looking forward to your exercise that you've crossed into another zone. I'm happy for you.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a blast! I am impressed with the fact that you are looking forward to the gym. I need to get myself in that mindset badly!
ReplyDeleteA bunch of very pretty young women! Good for you Tina, being excited about the gym. I am glad you enjoyed the beach so much.
ReplyDeleteOMG... that's beautiful! You all look so happy and vibrant.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pic.
ReplyDeleteAs for the Y, you gotta figure out a way to make that a priority, budget wise. It's such a big part of what you're doing to be successful.
Nice post! I hear you about the beach...I love it, too. On a recent trip I drove and extra 1.5 hours each way just to walk on the beach for an hour!
ReplyDeleteWhat I am finding about exercise is that it has an equally positive effect (if not moreso) on my outlook and ability to relax as the beach does. The endorphins, increased circulation and removal of toxins, increased metabolism.....not sure exactly what it is....but, it helps me feel even better than a trip to the beach. It is a good motivator to keep it up 3-4 times a week for me! Phew....maybe I am finally "addicted" to something healthy! :)
Oh- wish you could bottle some of that gym-enthusiasm and send it up here!
ReplyDeleteSo glad you had a fab weekend. :)
Holy crap!!! I finally found a weight loss blogger that lives somewhat close to me....I live in Kennesaw!! A big hello! Where were you in the Gulf? I'm hoping to lose my weight by next spring...if so, I'll be taking a 7-day trip to Destin...LOVE the Gulf!! I'm originally from Jax, FL. :)
ReplyDeleteYou look like you're having a great time. And that beach looks gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteWhat a difference a relaxed state of mind has on us and our workouts. Hope it continues for you.
Beautiful pictures!!!! LOL at the comment of the triathlete next to you. I'm glad to read you had a fun, relaxing time with old friends-that look really young!!
ReplyDeleteGreat photos. And you all look great to me.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Tisha.
ReplyDeleteI LOLd at your tri girl comment too.
