On Vacation, truly!
August 9, 2008
Well, in just 5 hours we'll be leaving for our first real vacation ever! SO excited. Only downside so far is that I was unable to workout yesterday or today - simply too much prepping to do, taking 3 kids on vacation! So that sucks - but I figure that I probably burned off about 600 calories each day anyways, running around, carrying luggage, groceries etc. I barely sat down either day.
Today was the first day that I totally ignored my meal plan. Most of the food I ate today was grabbed quickly and consumed while standing. I tried to grab mostly foods that were on the meal plan earlier this week, but I'll admit that some weren't.
Originally I planned on printing my meal plan and bring along all the groceries I would need to follow it whilst on vacation. Then I thought,
Fuck that.
Although I in no way wish to undo all of the hard work I've accomplished in the last 2 weeks, I also don't want to be stressed out and miserable on vacation. Not having to prep food is half the fun of holidays.
So, I'm truly on vacation. I promise to make good choices more often than not (salad rather than fries etc), I'm bringing my free weights and vow to get at least 2 workouts in (not to mention the fact that we'll be swimming/cycling/walking all week)... but I also promise to enjoy a Big Mac at least once, order dessert on my anniversary, and drink beer with no guilt.
I am fully aware that I am going to have to kick it up a notch when I get home, and I'm ok with that.
So - we'll see ya'll in a week!
