Bon Voyage America

In less than 24 hours I leave on my trip to South Africa. I have extremely mixed feelings about this now that the hour glass is down to its last grains of sand. Mostly excited, somewhat nervous, and a little scared.

Going out of the country for the first time by yourself is a huge deal, at least to me anyways. At the ripe age of 22, I never thought I'd be traveling around the world, much less to SA, but it makes me realize how fortunate I am to live the life that I do and to have the ability to take this trip of a lifetime with the support of my friends and family.

I didn't really do a whole lot to prepare for this trip considering I had less than 3 weeks from the time I bought the ticket to now when I'm leaving, so I suppose I'll find out if this comes to bite me in the ass later. Spontaneity can be a great thing or a very foolish one. Lets hope for my sake that it isn't the latter.

I did however, make sure I stayed up on my gym routines. After all, it is bikini season there and I wouldn't want the "fat and lazy" American stereotype to continue.

I was extremely proud of my workout accomplishments and I thought I would share them with you guys, not that you probably care or anything, but I do. These pictures are results of my weeks of cycling classes I've been taking.

I cycle 3-4 times a week and do yoga on some days in between with one or two days off every week. I've decided to also make this blog a personal workout log for myself.
