One week from today at 5:45 PM, I will be jetting off to Boston for a long weekend! My super duper friend, Kara, has surprised me with a trip to see her!!
This year, Jason and I had planned on visiting Kara & Mike for New Years. However, when we decided to buy a house, we had to cut somethings out and that trip, sadly, was one of the casualties. I have been very bummed about that because I miss her... and I want to see her beautifully remodeled house!
Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago and I get this awesome email from Kara asking if I had a long weekend free that she could bring me up for a visit! I was thrilled! However... there is a catch. :o)
This isn't just a lazy, touristy visit. Oh no... Kara has put together she has called "Boot Camp 2". Yep, my weight loss mentor is going to be torturing me all weekend! She said this trip was something she had been thinking about for some time and wanted to do it as her way of continuing to support my weight loss effort. SO AWESOME!!! So, not only do I get to see my best-est friend, but I am going to learn some workout strategies as well. We are going to go to the gym, maybe hike in New Hampshire (weather and time permitting) and eat healthy all weekend. I have managed to request we get pedicures too.
Just to give you an idea of what I am in for, here are a string of emails between Kara and I last week...
A: "Two weeks from today, I will be heading your way!!!!"
K: "I know... So many options, so few days with you. I'll have to figure out how to pack in the best punch. I'm very excited about it and really just can't believe I'll get to see you so soon!"
A: "I am excited too!!! I may go running slow motion through the airport when I see you... :o)"
K: "Da dunh a da dunh da........da dunh a da dunh! (In case you couldn't deduce my email singing, that was Chariots of Fire). As long as you're running, we'll be starting the weekend right! ;-)"
A: "HA! Instead of embracing me, you would just start running and make me follow you to the car! My luggage would just serve as additional weights!"
K: "Hahaha! You've already got my plan all figured out!"
Oh Boy!!!
