I booked a trip to Colorado in May because I will be a conference (excited!).  Previously, when I’ve booked trips, I always counted the months until departure and calculated the amount of weight I could lose until I left .  I never, not even once, got close to losing the calculated amount of weight.  The urge to do this calculation is rearing its ugly head since I just booked a trip.  Instead, I will “love what is” and think about the people I’ll meet and the friends with whom I’ll reconnect instead of torturing myself with more numbers.
