Jackie and I had a wonderful time in Hilton Head, NC for a little mini vacation. The initial plan was for me to run a 10k there but more on that later. We stayed at the Sea Pines Resort which was beautiful! In fact, we stayed right at the Inn at Harbor Town, the crown jewel of the property. Our room over looked the first tee at the golf course, another bonus. I did manage to play the course once during my stay and played reasonably well considering I had not played in many months. We also tried out a number of awesome restaurants, it is hard to pick the best one. Lots of walking at the resort as well as biking!!! This is definitely a location that we would like to return to at some point. Maybe same time next year.
I also spent the better part of a week in Las Vegas on business. It was my first time in Vegas and as I figured I loved it. There is so much to do there, so much more than just gambling. I didn't get a chance to see any of the shows unfortunately but I could tell that if I was to go there with time on my hands it would not be boring. The conference I was at had some motivational speakers for the keynote addresses. One guy in particular talked about motivational books and it really connected with me. I began a list of books that I want to read (already through two of them) so that was a good thing. I think I am in the wrong line of work. I would love to be a motivational speaker, affecting other people's loves. Unfortunately I am not charismatic enough.
So on to the down side of the last month. I have health issues. I have not been able to run or bike for over a month now. It is killing me. To go from being very fit to being a slug is majorly depressing. I have been going to various specialists and taking lots of tests to try and figure this thing out. No success to date. I guess the silver lining is that my weight is staying constant without the exercise. I think I am losing muscle mass though so that likely accounts for the steady weight. I am currently at 167.4 lbs. I still can't seem to make it to my goal of 165 lbs, so close yet so far away....
So I have a couple of stressful weeks of work and then I am off for a week on vacation with the family. We are going to LA!! We have never been there so it should be a neat experience for us. We plan on doing the usual Hollywood stuff, shopping, sightseeing, etc.
I also signed up for a University course that starts the first week in April, I am excited about that as well!!!
Busy busy time, if I could only get this heath thing fixed up I would be in a better state of mind.
That's all for now, stay healthy.
P.S. Jackie has been working out like crazy and doing a great job losing weight, I am very proud of her!
