The last 2 weeks before a trip are brutal. You want to avoid all midriff expanding foods and beverages so you trudge along in pursuit of those finishing touches on the old physique for your much anticipated, upcoming romps on the golden sands. It's the toughest time to discipline yourself, especially when you can't get the anticipation of cervezas, lazy fun in the sun, and more cervezas off your mind. So it's day 11 and I'll be working out like mad, avoiding the foods and beverages I love, and being a general grump. I've waited 5 months for this day to come, but the last 10 days are going to see me so ready to get out of this cold and emotional deprivation, I'll be giddy with relief when the day finally arrives.
