Today I am suffering from vacation "hangover". I had a fabulous time on vacation and stayed as active as much as I could but definitely did NOT do well on the nutrition front. On our long drive home I made the decision to do a mind & body reset. I'm going to do my own version of a detox involving LOTS of water, fruit, veggies, protein. I am also debating about attempting a sugar detox/ beginning a paleo diet and lifestyle. I have successfully given up pop but after our trip and doing a lot of reading on the road, I realized that I need to step it up, challenge myself, and create a healthier body!
I have a couple more 5Ks this summer as well as the half marathon at the end of the month. I plan to spend the rest of the week signing up to participate in other runs and events throughout the fall to make sure that goals are constantly in place. I haven't been able to attend classes while on vacation so I will also be pushing myself to attend at least four classes each week at the Y. I have a squat challenge I found online and am looking for another abs & arms challenge. I have increased my fitbit step challenge from 10,000 steps daily to 15,000 steps daily in hopes that would also motivate. I'm exhausted just typing this but hope that publishing some of my goals will hold me accountable.
As far as nutrition, besides attempting a new type of diet, I have filled my fridge with fruits, veggies and eggs. I restarted recording everything on myfitnesspal and weight watchers. I hope the double accountability and loading up on water will help me to shed my unwanted vacation pounds and put me back on course with my goals. I know that today is a new day and being home means having a routine. I love routines, being home, and having my accountability friends back in the same zip code. If anyone has any other suggestions that will help me to refocus/ reset (or perhaps someone else) PLEASE leave a comment!
