Head in the game...

I have been blessed the last month with 2 kick ass vacations! I have spent time with friends, I have seen parts of the United States I have never seen before and made some great memories. With all that said my healthy lifestyle has paid the price. I did okay on vacation #1, I held my own and came out in the end with a loss. Vacation #2 is a different story. I had such high hopes for the week and truly had NO reason to not be in better control over my choices and actions. I just tanked all my plans. I didn’t hardly workout, I ate ice cream, I ate breads and pasta, and I drank alcohol. Those darn power hours in the pool will getcha EVERYTIME!

In the past I would beat myself up over it – I am actually okay with my week. Yes, I gained but hell I had fun!!! NOW…the hard part is getting back in the game. When I say I took off last week, I mean I took off. I had VERY limited cell phone service, I didn’t log into the computer, I didn’t log my food and I hardly wore my body bugg. I was on true R & R! Again, I am okay with all of this but now I am back to reality and I am struggling to get my head back in the game.

I do know this: I have 4 lbs. to get off this week. I have weigh in next Tuesday and I have to be 4 lbs. (secretly would like more) to get off my body. I know that in order for this to happen I need to get my butt moving and my diet has to be on point. My diet is not an issue but getting my body moving is a mental struggle. I don’t know why this is, I feel better after I do it. This is such a mental journey – our minds are so damn powerful!

I figured if I put forth a game plan here and checked back here and had others hold me accountable, I may just not struggle so darn much.

*1200-1400 calorie diet everyday
*8000-10,000 steps a day
*Workout everyday – I have things to do Tues and Wed. evening but I need to get up those mornings at 4:30 so I can get a workout in before work. I need to figure out what I need/want my calorie burn to be at on the bugg. I would love to reach 3,000 calories burned but damn it is hard and I haven’t figured out what all I have to do to reach that yet!
