My Journey With Health And Fitness – Heading Home

The remains of my brother arrived yesterday along with all the paperwork. That allowed me to do things like apply for his life insurance and arrange for his obituary to be posted. It is surprising how much work we have been able to do from Mexico to get things moving on my brother’s estate. The challenge isn’t with what we need to do at home, rather it is dealing with Mexico. We were told that we would have him and the documents by Monday but that didn’t happen. Then it would be Tuesday afternoon but nope. I was getting very stressed because they assured me it would be here yesterday morning but more excuses. Finally yesterday afternoon it all arrived so we are able to make our flight today.

You know, I never like leaving the condo. It is so beautiful here and life is more laid back. Most days we deal with beautiful weather and trust me this time of year the pool is an awesome temperature. We now have an awesome group of friends that include us in everything. On one trip last year I actually cried the night before we left because I didn’t want to go home. This time is different. Ever since my brother passed last Friday all I have wanted to do was go home. I want to see my sister in person, I want to hug my pets and I want to see all of our friends. Instead we spent those several extra days awaiting everything. Now we have a long day because our flight doesn’t leave until nearly 8pm.

I will note I did have a major success while I was hear, I logged at least 1 workout (either walking or online with my fitness centre) every single day. This even includes last Saturday as I was still reeling from what happened. While I have been relatively successful on previous trips, never to this extent. I came down here determined to stay on course the entire time and I feel I did that. Of course I’ll be ramping things up again starting Monday. I also admit that I am likely going to take tomorrow off simply because we will be arriving at home at about 2am.

Once we arrive home tomorrow morning we will be hitting the ground running. The next several days are already full of events we need to attend including meeting with my brother’s friends as well as my husband’s 50th high school reunion. As such I won’t like be posting on Saturday.

I hope everyone has an amazing weekend and remember, life is short so cherish those around you.
