Hello friends. I just realized how long it's been since I've updated my blog. Thats no way to keep my readers happy! I've been in Florida for the past week having a fun time with my family. On Thursday morning, my Mom and I did the Green Mountain Morning Momentum DVD. Actually we did the "midafternoon momentum DVD." I realize now that my difficulty with morning comes directly from my Mom. I think this must be a trait I inherited from my Mom's side of the family. Even my grandmother could always sleep the morning away if she had the chance. I can't really speak for my cousins on my Mom's side, maybe they can comment on here and let me know. If I can establish that this is something I inherited from my Mom's side of the family, I can say my inability to get up in the morning is familial and I won't have to feel so bad about not being a morning person!!
Graesen and I had a great time riding bikes. There is a nice trail that picks up close to my Mom's development called the Pinellas trail. There are several places where the trail crosses intersections and there are pedestrian bridges over the intersections. Grae and I had fun riding up a long ramp to get on the bridge and then turning around and riding as fast as we could down the ramp.
After Graesen got out of school, we took a ride down to the St Petersburg beach. Graesen took off running to the beach and I followed him. I felt so proud that I was able to run the whole length of the beach without getting too winded.
Saturday started our Disney adventure. There was no time to get in any exercise while we were at Disney but I'm pretty sure I made up for that with the walking we did around Magic Kingdom. I wore my Fitbit and on Saturday, it registered 12,938 steps and on Sunday, 13,958 steps. Approx 10,000 steps equals about 5 miles so I think we did pretty good.
Getting a healthy meal at Disney was a little difficult. I allowed myself the freedom to eat the food without feeling guilty about it. I didn't indulge in very many of the sweet treats that are sold everywhere so I was proud of that.
So tomorrow I'm back to work and back to my workout schedule. I only did one day of my Jillian Michael's Body Revolution, so I am going to start from scratch tomorrow night.
I have a few stressors in my life right now and I have to fight the urge to break down and use food to deal with my stress. I need to go to the grocery store and stock back up on groceries so I have healthy choices to make. I also want to break out my bike since I had so much fun riding my Mom's bike. The weather here in DC really warmed up while I was away and I am looking forward for some chances to get outside to exercise.
It sounds like you got some great activity in while you were there! Over five miles each day is impressive! Once you get to the store, you'll feel better prepared to handle the week. I've been making the GM truffles but I leave out the raisins and use dark chocolate chips instead. So much more satisfying!
