Is it vacation time yet?

I just feel so exhausted! I am in need of a vacation so bad but for some reason will not even get a full 2 weeks off like previous school years before. If you have never taught elementary aged kids you are probably thinking, suck it up! Most people have to work year round and you are complaining about working 173 days out of the year? Trust me, it is exhausting and I hope we go to year round school years and the summers will be shorter but we will get longer breaks in the middle of the year. I am so in! I get bored and run out of things to do in the summer so this would be fantastic. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

I am hitting the gym hard, cardio not so much. I have put on weight, not a lot but some. I have a plan though. When January rolls around I will have 12 weeks before we leave on vacation to Costa Rica so I am going to hit it hard and do a 12 week challenge. I am really wanting to hire my trainer back but with the cost of graduate school I am thinking that might not be an option. I am going to drop 15 lbs for my vacation so I will feel great in my swimsuit and not feel the need to cover up.

I don't like winter at all but if it is going to be cold at least make it SNOW!
