Two weeks

So in two weeks from today I will be on an airplane to Kenya with my family.  I can't even contain this excitement!!  It is really coming up fast.  I am actually packing my suitcase.  Want to know what else I am packing on?  The pounds! I was at the gym today and I just kept looking at myself in the mirror and it was a moment of terror!  When did this happen? How did this happen?  Is it the stress? Maybe.  Is it the feeling of limbo? Maybe. Is it because I am not training for a marathon anymore and not running with my cross country kids?  Probably a little of that too. I think really if I am being honest- it is what I will call "The last of my favorite American junk food binge"  I won't go into detail what that is, but you can probably guess. Enough already though. This is just a little ridiculous.  I had sushi last night with a couple friends. That's healthy right?  I just keep imagining people who go on those shows like Survivor or Naked and Afraid and they gain lots of weight because they will be starving for a long period of time. I was not selected for one of those shows so there is no need to eat like that!

So the plan is to eat a lot better when we get to Kenya. We won't have access to much junk food which will be good. The kids might not like that, but they are pretty good eaters anyway.  I am excited to be a part of the Kenyan culture. I can't wait to get there.  While I am here in America for two more weeks, just turn your head if you see my grocery cart. This is only a phase!
