Buena Noches...
What a change, yesterday I was swimming in the ocean in 28 degrees, sunshine for a whole week and today I am shivering. With the ocean on one side and the mountains on the other, having Jacques and Jamie with me, cocktails at sunset and buffet dinners there just wasn't more I could ask for.
Except that I forgot to put sunscreen on my thighs - figure that!!!. I now have a tanned body with two very red glowing thighs, it looks like I'm radioactive. Most people will hide their "biggest assets", oh no, not me, I get sunburn and show off my rounded thighs ;);), no blending to distract the eye.
Growing up with The Terminator and always hearing him say "hasta la vista baby", I have this unbelievable urge to use it somewhere now that I am, strictly speaking, in Spanish Tenerife. So imagine the Concierge's face when we checked-out and I turned around to say... "hasta la vista baby, I'll be back".
Getting away was just what the doctor ordered, time to reflect but also time to realise the daunting challenge I have set myself. During the past week there were days where I wanted to take on the world, then there were moments where a simple walk down to the beach caused me to doubt. Dislocating a tiny bone in my foot caused a lot of pain, luckily it reset itself after rested for a while. That is hEDS for you, unpredictable, but I close my eyes and choose FAITH not FEAR, I am strong, fearfully and wonderfully made. I have a purpose and FLIGHT is not an option. I have a goal and I am going to achieve it!
The sooner the better, Bootcamp tomorrow morning and back to eating healthy. I'll feel more motivated in the morning, I'm sure of it.
Thank you for the overwhelming support and personal messages. I am glad to share my journey with you. If you have any questions or just want to write to me, feel free, I will however not reveal my October 2019 goal just yet... (you know who you are- thought you are going to get away with it LOL).
Sterkte vir die week. I know it's going to be a good one!!
