October 19th, 2014 Until I Get My Fill

October 19th, 2014 Until I Get My Fill

If you're going to ride twenty hours on the road from Vegas to Ponca City, ride in something like this. Jon's truck made the road trip much easier!

It was a fast and furious 42 hour Vegas trip--but we packed quite a bit in those 42 hours. The circumstances of our early departure couldn't be helped. My sincere condolences go out to all of those in Jon's family who are hurting with their tragic loss.

Jon and I shared a lot of conversations about this journey on the way back: Being sugar free and what it means and what it gives us, or doesn't give us and everything else. We discussed the psychological effects of transformation as it applies to how we interact with people and how they interact with us and we did our best to define what it is we must do to continue having success. These were important conversations! And we had plenty of time to discuss. That's a long road trip!

Meeting Michael Funero was a highlight for Jon and me. The Friday night meeting we three shared was fascinating in how connected it felt. It was further proof to me that our history and circumstances can be very different and still, we're not that different at all. We share so many of the same things in common--the struggles, relapse, the boundaries we each hold sacred and the sweet success. It was a very enjoyable dinner meeting!

I'm home and that means the Tweets are embedding correctly! Yay! I'm off work tomorrow too, so I'll spend some time catching up on replies and fixing the Tweet issue in previous posts.

For now, I'm exhausted. I'm headed to bed early and I plan to sleep until I get my fill!

I'm proud of myself. I allowed my resolve with food and exercise to quietly run in the background while life in Vegas happened in the foreground. I didn't over-do it--I just did it. I survived Vegas with my calorie budget in one piece and plenty of activity calories burned--including a hike at Red Rock Canyon! I also discovered, in a pinch I can post a blog page from my iPhone.

    Hipe you got your fill of rest. I'm sure the day off will help you get back on schedule. I always feel a bit off the day after I return from a trip. Great job on handling fun and your journey with balance!

      Alati-- I slept for 11 hours straight!! It was incredibly refreshing! Thank you very much. I get the whole, "off" feeling the day after... Hopefully the added rest will alleviate that tendency!
