Fat Mommy to Fit Mommy

well, i'm back. we came back a few days early, as we were both terribly homesick and figured that a few days home without any extra kids to watch was probably a good thing.

i'm glad for another reason - it means that i can get back on the wagon sooner rather than later.

yeah, vacation was a wash. we cooked a few meals, but mostly we were eating on the run. and i totally admit, after day one, i basically decided "fuck it" and went back to my old habits.

as for working out - i did bring my free-weights with me, but honest-to-god needn't have bothered - i was lugging 20 lbs of crap with me everywhere we went. not to mention carrying luci around. i did some swimming as well. on the very first day, however, i did something really stupid - i sprained my thumb and did god-knows-what to my shoulder. pulled something. how? reaching into the back seat to search for luci's soother. 20x, i swear, in the first 4 hours of our trip. so i'm sorta crippled right now, which sucks. i'm seriously hoping that one night's sleep in a comfortable bed (don't even get me started on the bed we were stuck with... let's just say the back spasms are finally dissapating) will go a long way towards healing the shoulder.

so, the verdict is... i'm back at square one. the good news is, i don't have a scale, so i'll never know how much of the previous week's hard work i managed to flush down the toilet in the last 5 days. argh.

well, i refuse to feel guilty. what's done is done, and the important part is that i jump right back into things. which means working out tomorrow (heidi, i need my bosu back!), and getting to the grocery store pronto. and meeting with B, and admitting to my offenses :(

my favourite indulgence, in case you're wondering, was ice cream. the temp was around 38 degrees all week, so most nights we'd wait until the sun went behind the mountains and then we'd all walk into town for some locally made ice cream. i'm a sucker for banana ice cream, i'll admit it.

oh well. tomorrow is another day... and it's almost september, which currently scares the crap outta me. but it'll be good, i can get into something of a routine...
