Wanderlust

I'm a little restless these days.

I've finally recovered from the crazy summer and I'm hesitant to schedule my winter, I needed a bit of a break.

I've decided I'm going to go back to the YWCA and continue my workouts replacing running with swimming. It's too cold and icy here to continue running outside. Plus I've been doing so well with my current running plan it'd be a shame to stop the habit. I've also taken to reading on the recumbent bike. If I'm sitting there reading, I may as well be doing some sort of exercise, it really doesn't take much more effort, you end up a little sweaty but I'm fine with that.

Travel plans are filling my head. I went from not knowing where I want to go to having way too many ideas. Ryan and I aren't very picky when it comes to traveling, it comes down to what's on sale and when we want to go. It makes it hard to choose anything when you're comparing the Dominican to Europe, an all inclusive to a book your own everything. The choices are unlimited but we've been through this a couple times now and we're starting to narrow down the wanderlust each time. I want to take at least one warm trip every year and then one big trip every year like a tour of Italy or a Mediterranean Cruise or a tour of New Zealand. We're getting there, we got the warm trip down for next year. We're going to Punta Cana in the Dominican. We're staying at a 5 star resort. There's so many tours and adventures we'd like to do. It's all coming together.

I'm also trying to figure out what to do at lunches now at work. I used to go take a walk or go shopping. It's too cold to do that now. I need to get up and do something. I also want to limit the driving, I don't like driving in the winter. I'm not sure what to do yet. Gym is out, it takes too long to put myself back together after a good work out. Skipping lunch is an option and leaving early, but alot of the times I end up getting sidetracked and out of work at my normal time anyways, so I end up being deprived of my lunch time....What do other people do for lunches?
