A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.

Happy Monday! We are heading home after a week on the east coast. Michael went to see his family while I was in Rochester, NY with Love Beets, and then we met in Delaware mid-week at my parent’s beach house to hang with them and relax. It’s been a fun and relaxing week and I’m reminded how much I love being near the water. As much as I love being with my family, I’m ready to head back home and get in my routine again.

I was planning on working out more than I did last week, but I’m okay with it. Would I have liked to move more, yes, but there isn’t anything I can do about it now. I did some workouts a few days and I did nothing a few days. I tried to hit 10,000 steps each day, but it didn’t happen every day. I also ate lots of things and drank more alcohol than I have in awhile.

While I feel a little inflammed and tired, I know that this week I’ll be back in my normal routine and feeling back to myself in a handful of days. My plan is to get back into my workouts, drink lots and lots of water, and eat lots of veggies and lean protein. It’s important to realize that you can’t be perfect in your food and workout routine all the time. In fact, I feel that leads to some obsessiveness (I’ve been there) and burn out in the long run. If you are consistent with working out and eating healthy 90% of the time, a week off track is okay (and good for you body and mind in my opinion)! Once you are back home though, get back into your routine and don’t drag your feet. I won’t get home until 7-8pm today, but plan on hitting the gym Tuesday morning!
