I've got baggage

This weekend, I am driving down to South Carolina with my mom to see my family.  Aside from the obvious obstacle of spending 12 hours in the car with a parent, the other obstacle is going to be my wellness. 

I am at my desk making a list to prepare for packing tonight.  Although the size of my clothes are smaller this trip around, the amount has doubled.  These days, I need to add a set of workout clothes to every day.  Socks, compression pants, sports bra and shoes are no exception.Vacation or not, these are as necessary as my tooth brush. I have google mapped the nearest Anytime Fitness and I have one just over 2 miles away.  I am set!  I also hope that I can drag my brother out with me.  He will be a great influence and motivator.  I have a feeling CrossFit may be in the cards for us.  Here I am thinking that I am bad ass and apparently he has been doing CrossFit for like a decade.  Go figure!  O well, the point is... I am doing it, now.

The whole meal plan part is going to be rough.  My mom has been saying that she is getting into the plan that I made for her.  This will be a test.  Total immersion, so to say.  Now her "Trainer" is traveling with her and spending the next 120 hours next to her.  If nothing else, this might give me the extra nudge to keep on plan.  I have to set an example. 

All of this hard work will pay off again as I hit the boat with my family.  The only swim suit I have is my bikini that I bought this summer.  I have no choice but to wear that one and wear it proud.

Wish me luck!
