Life Change

change

Over this past year, my life has changed.  A lot.  Like… a lot, a lot.

And to be completely honest, I was having a hard time trying to figure out how this blog fit into this new life that had snuck up on and seduced me.  I mean, here I was, the fit “gypsy”… with an APARTMENT!  No longer was I living my life day to day out of a suitcase.  No longer were 90% of my meals created out of ingredients that could be kept in a mini-fridge, cooked in a hotel microwave, and carried from hotel to hotel in a purse-sized cooler.  No longer did I have to wear the same 3 pairs of shoes! (Come on guys, that’s a BIG deal!)

And I loved this new life.

But I was also confused.  I mean, who was I?  Did I “brand” myself wrong? Was anyone going to take me, the Fitgypsy, seriously anymore now that I lived in a stable location?

And then I went to Europe for 2 weeks in March…

And Lake Michigan, Las Vegas, and North Carolina over the summer…

And to a three-day conference in Dallas in November…

Then back to Europe for 2.5 weeks in December...

And I found that people were still constantly asking for my thoughts and tips to make their travels a success.  

Oh. <insert one of those obnoxious cartoons where someone gets hit over the head by the obvious here>

Okay, so maybe this gypsy’s caravan has rooted itself.  But that doesn’t mean the knowledge I gathered from 8 years of traveling went away overnight!

  • Need to figure out how to travel on the cheap? I’m your girl!

  • Want to eat healthy and/or workout on the road? I can do that too!

  • Trying to figure out the best way to travel? Planes, trains, and automobiles… I’ve got you covered!

So yes, my perspective has changed a little bit, but then again, we’re all constantly changing.  I mean, if we weren’t- what fun would that be?

So here’s to a new year, new perspectives, and new beginnings.  The Fitgypsy is back, and it's a FRICKin Good Life!
