A recap of my weekly workouts from the previous week.
Happy happy Monday!! What a crazy and amazing weekend it’s been for us. I headed out of town on Friday morning for a quick trip to California. And when I say quick, I mean quick – I headed home on Saturday afternoon. But the most exciting thing happened – WE GOT A PUPPY!!!! OMG OMG OMG. He’s the best and we are so in love. Welcome to the family, Cashew!
Okay, this post is about working out, so I will keep the puppy talk to later.
Last week I talked about how I didn’t workout as much as I had planned on vacation. I told myself I would get back in it once I got home and I did exactly that. To make sure I got off on the right foot, I did a 4 mile run before we headed to the airport on Monday. Working out helps me make better choices during the day, so I wasn’t tempted by eating some more candy or sweets before vacation ended.
I then worked out every day last week that I could. I haven’t worked out 5 days in a row in awhile, and by Saturday I was ready for my rest day, but it felt great. I mentioned I was feeling inflamed and tired, and by the end of the week I was feeling more myself. I also cut out all added sugar from my diet for the week. I was still eating fruit, but didn’t use any added sugars, maple syrup, honey, or sweeteners. I definitely indulged in a lot of sugar on vacation, which makes you crave even more sugar, so I wanted to reel it in some.
I didn’t want to do anything too drastic, but just a few things to help me start feeling back to normal. I’m not saying you have to workout for hours or a certain number of days in a row, or cut out certain foods, but getting back into your normal routine as soon as you can is key. The only reason I worked out for 5 days in a row (which I used to do all the time, not so much anymore), was because I was heading out of town again. If you prolong the process and stay in vacation mode, it is going to make it even worst. Cut the excuses and vacation blues, hit the gym hard, and reel in your diet! And that is if you need to. If you feel fine after vacation then go on with your everyday life. I tend to enjoy myself on vacation so when I get home, I’m ready to get back to my routine!
