I did good on our vacation, Didn’t splurge too much!!

I’m pretty proud of myself.  We went on a 2 day vacation with the kids to Great Wolf Lodge, swim resort!  We had a blast, I didn’t do much swimming the water was a bit cool, But did some.  We ate out, stuff I wouldn’t normally eat.  I did pack healthy snacks, Carrots, Celery, Cucumbers, Yogurt, to curb those munchy attacks.  I kept it to grillled chicken salads when we went out.  I did have a coffee cake for breakfast.  Anyway I manged to stay in the 1400 calorie range (usually stay around 1200), and I even went to the gym and worked out for 45 minutes as well.  I weighed today and it said I gained 1.3 lbs, But I’m OK with that, knowing last time it told me I lost 2 (and I know that wasnt right), so in reality I lost atleast 1/2 a lb, plus it’s that time of the month, so I expected it to be higher.  In about a week the true weight should be revealed!

Hubby and I are going this weekend to look at home gyms, so I can really get into my workouts.  I can’t wait to start using more than just my dumbells and get a real workout!  Right now I’m just doing 30-45 minutes cardio and 15-30 Weights and excersizes (reverse crunches, armcurls, pushups, squats, lunges, and tricep curls) 6 days a week.  I plan to double the weight workout, when I get the home gym.  With summer getting here I will be getting much of my excersize outside, with the 6 hours it takes to push mow my lawn.  Riding horses, working in the flower garden, and just keeping up with Hubby , the kids, the dogs, and the farm will also keep motivated!!  :D

 Here’s wishing everyone a WONDERFUL day!  Remember….It’s a great day to be alive!!  :D

    Awesome Job! I tend to have a hard time on vacations and fun trips… the mood of celebration tends to overshadow my desire to lead a healthy life. Your post was inspirational -Thanks!
