It seems that I only gained 3.7 lbs on vacation, but man am I squishy. So I am paid up with T and waiting to hear what the plan is. Until then I put myself on a detox of sorts. I know I need to clear out the system of all the fast food and rum ‘n diet coke. So I figure by the time I hear from him I’ll be down at least that 3.7 and ready to cut.
October 20th here I come!
We made it. Here is our crazy “ghetto” set up so that we didn’t have to have luggage in the car. It worked until we got to Seattle and Vancouver, then it got a little tricky. I’ll share more later.
We had a lot of fun. Some parts were crazy and some were not. I ate about 70% healthy. I did a few gym workouts, a lot of walking. We paddled down the river twice and I did some swimming in the lake. My biggest downfall would probably be that I had at least one drink probably every day. I visited a lot of new places and saw some beautiful parts of the country and of a new country (to me). We celebrated 12 years of marriage by driving abut 10 hours. Ah well.
I missed my online community. Hope everyone had a great wee. xo
Last post before vacay. Off to Oregon for a wedding then up to Seattle and Vancouver. I’m very excited. I’m gonna go get one more shoulder workout in before I head out. The kitty-sitter is all arranged and we’re almost packed. Fun fun fun!
Be back on the 12th!
Last night after rushing to find a babysitter since I forgot I had signed up, I went to a Dream Dinners Sneak Peek Party. Have you heard of this? You go in to their kitchen, they have done all the prep work, you put a meal together for the freezer and voila! a meal ready to go. No kitchen clean up and no grocery shopping. I mean seriously. This is the BOMB! For a meal that feeds 6 it averages about $4.20 per serving. I am totally sold. Now I just have to figure out how to get hubby to think it’s great, too. I would be in heaven having 12 meals waiting for me to pop in the oven. The girls that started it had the idea in mind to get families to spend at least 3 nights a week sitting down to a meal together. Awesome mission. If you have one near you you should check it out at least to get the one free meal. I’m having the papya chicken that I made. Yum! Happy eating.
I have made it so far without injury and now it happens! I have no clue WHAT I did. I did 45 min of cardio ysterday and that’s it. No weights. Felt fine. I went to the gym this morning to work legs. Leg press, everything was fine. Off to do lunges on the Smith Machine and suddenly there was a twinge in my left hip/butt muscle. I kept going. Dummy. Finished with extensions and ham curls. I was thining that I hadn’t been on the gauntlet for awhile and needed a good sweat. I took two steps and it was seriously excruciating. Hopped off. Did a couple hundred crunches and called it a day.
It hurts. I’m already scared to death I’m gonna come back from vacation back where I began this whole ride over a year and a half ago. I’ve been doing really well at keeping it at 120 or lower. Now I’m wondering if I’m going to be able to even run a little while I’m gone. Crap.
37 days until the 50 mile walk.
81 Days until Border States.
Oh, and I have to wear rubber bands on my braces. “It won’t hurt” he says. HA!
