Good morning from Queenstown, New Zealand! This trip has been absolutely fantastic. After this is over, I will be saving all my pennies to come back here again one day and experience more than just Queenstown and Wanaka. This place is pure magic.

Just a heads up, I’m keeping this post rather short today so I can continue to enjoy these last few days. Definitely trying to stay in vacation mode while I’m here. This last week of workouts has been all about working out when I feel like it, staying active in different ways other than a normal workout, AND eating every single piece of food I see. Yes, I’ve gained weight, yes, I feel a little self conscious about it, but I know I can get back to my routine once I’m home. I have PLENTY of time in Denver to watch what I eat and work out. What I don’t have in Denver is the breathtaking views, the amazing experience and the fan-freaking-tastic food that New Zealand has to offer. I don’t have a whole lot of experience in this world, but I know from previous years that I will never regret enjoying every single minute of a vacation. The only thing I will regret is saying no. I will definitely regret saying no to a homemade gluten free twix bar. So I ain’t doing it.

Back to routine next week, back to home cooked meals in Colorado, and back to my puppy. Until then, it’s time for a wine tour
