We got back from our vacation and I decided to NOT officially weigh in! Ok, I actually decided this fact before we even left for vacation! I just knew that I wanted to give my body some time to recover and recoup! OK, and maybe...just maybe I knew that I was going to be probably indulging on our vacation!
I did indulge! I went in with a belief that I was going to stay the straight and narrow with my eating. But no, I indulged! (and in fairness, I knew it!) Come on now...I had wedding cake...from my own wedding/elopement!
I planned to get right back on track when I got home! I was determined! On Monday morning....it was back to work and I stepped on the scales! Yup...it was just what I expected! I gained 5 pounds...on the dot! But I was back on track, right?
Nope. I struggled all week. We had brought home the leftover fudge. So I ate that. We had brought home the leftover yogurt covered pretzels, so of course I finished them up! I also had leftover makings for S'mores. I discovered that you can make a mean s'more in the air fryer! So yeah, they went down the hatch also! I tracked NOTHNG. I DID focus on eating veggies at lunch and tried to up my fiber (maybe if just to negate the sugar I was eating).
I also did not get right back on the exercise bike when I returned. I have 500 miles to add to my mileage by the end of the year since I upped my mileage requirements to 2500. I rode the bike not ONCE since coming home. I was having some issues with my foot and I was trying to rest it a bit...but that sure sounds like an excuse doesn't it?? I also am once again reminded about how much good the bike and all those miles did for me. My legs never once on vacation felt heavy and horrible. My legs felt like superwoman legs! Strong and capable! (my foot...well that is just an old issue that I struggle with...).
Luckily, my body regulated a BIT. By my official weigh in day, I was showing that I was down by 2 pounds. I'll take it....especially since I probably didn't deserve it!
So no more. This is the line in the sand.....Serious healthy pursuits from here on out!

You got this…go get those numbers down
What a weigh in. It will really motivate you! And you did deserve it. You work hard all the time & looks like you were burning calories with all that hiking you two did.
I'm sure you will do what needs to be done.
Coffee is on and stay safe
Well, you don't get married every day. That deserves cake.
Alright miss thang!
I read this a few weeks ago but didn't have the mental strength to respond.
CONGRATS you sneaky, sneaky girl! I had no idea!
I'm so happy for the two of you!
