I made sure I walked every morning that I was on vacation. I
downloaded an app on my iphone that tracks your millage by GPS as well as shows
you a map of where you walked and how many calories you burned. I walked anywhere from 1.3 to 2.6 miles every
morning. In addition to my morning walks I did a 1.8 and a 1.0 mile walk two
nights last week. My goal was to complete 3 night walks in addition to my
morning walks, but I did walk/jog the day I got home from vacation so I suppose
that could count as my 3d.
I measured and weighed almost everything I ate except for my
three planned “cheats”. My down fall was alcohol. I had 3 nights that I drank
and did not account for those calories nor did I plan those drinking nights
ahead of time. I also took many extra bites of things without accounting for them.
Needless to say the scale when I returned from vacation was
up 3lbs. I will take it! Having a wonderful vacation and only gaining 3lbs is
fine by me!
I am not feeling very good today, but tomorrow I am back at
the gym and I am going to begin to incorporate weights into my work outs. (I
have been doing strictly cardio up until now except when I do my Jillian
Michael’s DVD.)
Hopefully after a
full week of being 100% on track I will feel much better. The Chinese food and the guilt of going off
track even though it was planned, was not worth it to me. Vacation was great
but I am ready to be back on my routine.
This Sunday the 29th is the day I am hiking the
trail I used to hike in college. I am pretty excited about it because I learned
it is only 1.3ish miles one way and my goal is to hike the trail without needing
a break. I am very confident I will be able to do this due to how hard I have
been working out. I feel my endurance is better and I can push myself longer. I
am learning mind over matter when it comes to exercising.
I am not in a writing mood today but I figured I would
document my vacation results. Below are a few pictures from vacation. Have a great day everyone!
