| Dan - AK circa 2007 |
I've wanted to take this trip for five years. Literally ever since we were in Alaska the last time. We've been planning this trip for so long and I know that we will have an amazing time but I'll be very honest with you. I'm scared shitless. I know that Alaska has practically an endless supply of seafood (which I love) but I am wondering whether the changes I've made over the past two years will stay with me or fall out of the airplane as soon as we begin our ascent.

I am really hoping that the amount of activity that we have planned for the trip will balance out the eating but I don't know. I'm trying to figure out what my "goal" for vacation should be. Maintain? Gain no more than 5 pounds? I don't know. Given the level of activity I've been hitting lately it seems difficult to maintain but knowing that training for the half marathon will begin just 2 short weeks after I return really makes me want to maintain or lose weight. I'm trying to be realistic though - who loses weight on vacation?
While I'm gone I've got some fabulous guest bloggers filling in for me. Abby, Mercedes and Stephanie are amazing friends who have so graciously volunteered to entertain and educate you. I hope that you'll tune in for those posts and show them lots of love in the comments section.
The other thing you can do while I'm gone (because I knew you were hoping I'd add something to your to-do list!) is to donate to my fundraising campaign for Team Challenge. Don't know what I'm talking about? Well, let me tell you why less guts means more glory. If you don't care and just want to donate, then you can go here.
I have always wanted to go to Alaska. Have an amazing trip!
