It's friggin hard to be strict when you're eating at other's peoples' houses! I can't be rude and pass on a meal made because its not in my eating plan. And I don't want to be one of those people who ask for a completely separate meal, and inconvenience the host or hostess. Fortunately, we stayed with family who are trying to eat healthy, so there was a wide variety of fruits, yogurts and bottled water in the fridge.
Nevertheless, I still had pizza, pasta and fast food this past week. Uggh, I feel fat!
I can proudly say that Damon and I did manage to go to the gym while we were in Ohio. Three days straight, and good workouts too - sprinting on the treadmill, and I shared a lot of the exercises I learned from Jonathan with Damon. He was impressed. He called me a PT machine!! :-)
And the best part of the gym visits? I stepped on a digital scale they had, and saw I was down another 5 pounds. That makes my weight loss since I started Velocity 10 pounds total. In a month and a half. Not too shabby.
Tomorrow I am hitting up my old stomping grounds - a gym now called Hardkohr Fitness, that I used to belong to for a number of years. Going to take Zumba with one of my favorite instructors, Jodie. So looking forward to a good sweat. It will be a great workout and do wonders for my mental state, and alleviate some of the guilt I am harboring after this week away from my normal routine.
I gotta say, its nice to go away, visit family and vacation. But, I am seriously looking forward to getting home and picking up where I left off. I felt like I was making headway, and now feel like I just took a few steps back after this week.
Surely, I'll feel better about it all after I dance my ass off tomorrow.
