When I got home from work yesterday, Nathan told me that our favorite bed and breakfast had posted a special on facebook. Two nights for the price of one. For this weekend.
So before we had a chance to talk ourselves out of it, we made reservations. And I am a happy girl. The day after tomorrow, I’ll be heading to my favorite place in the whole wide world.
I mean, the books…the coffee…the food…the mojitos…
I am incredibly excited. I need this. We need this.
But I’m also a little nervous. I will not let this trip derail me.
Do you hear me, Internets? I will NOT let this trip derail me.
I’ve already found myself slipping into that mindset.
“Why do I need to Shred tonight? I won’t do it while we’re on vacation.” Vacation is two nights. I can Shred before work on Friday and then when we get home on Sunday. All I’ll miss is Sunday.
“Maybe I’ll eat a few handfuls of chips. I’ll be eating tons of crap in Asheville anyway.” Um, no. We eat well in Asheville, but we don’t eat crap. This is a short trip. I will keep eating in the front of my mind, both before and through the trip.
I will NOT let this trip derail me.
I will enjoy the trip. I will enjoy my husband. I will enjoy all that Asheville has to offer. But I will not sacrifice the momentum I’ve gotten. I’m tracking. I’m working out. I’m on it. I will not lose that again.
I will not start over. Again.
That’s permission to keep me accountable, guys. Especially you, Nathan.
I will NOT let this trip derail me.
Amen.




yay! asheville will be wonderful.
and it’s a great city to stay on track, too! you’ll be walking a ton, and hello, all those great restaurants that serve local and healthy foods? you’re golden.
also, i miss limones something fierce.
Can I just say that I am SO JEALOUS of your wedding plans? Ahh, Limones. Maybe that will be our nice dinner…
ha! I’m jealous of your weekend getaway! we love that place. maybe I should blog about it. :D
I just wanted to say that I think the two of you are just too cute!
I hope you have a wonderful relaxing time away :)
I know you are going to have a blast in Asheville. But I am little bummed. Just as I started reading this post about your weekend plans my mom called. It looks like I might be going to Lexington for a quick 1 night trip with my mom this weekend. But I will see you some other time friend.
You and Nathan have fun! You deserve it!
Aww man! It would have been great to see you! Next time!

You and your sweetie deserve a special weekend. If you are looking for a place to eat (so many choices in Asheville!) I highly recommend Early Girl’s Eatery. The fried green tomatoe napoleon appetizer is wonderful–shared, of course!
Have fun.
