Vacation And Exercise...Do They Really Go Together?

They might if your vacation is rock climbing or backpacking through rough terrain! I have to chuckle because, for all our best intentions, we got only a single day of exercise in during this full week of vacation! I might be wrong, Dave may have gone running twice, but as I write this, he's laughing saying, "Nope, just once."

We brought our workout clothes, I even remembered my DVD, but we have been busy going places, wine tasting, swimming (not the heavy-duty exercise kind), and just enjoying each other. Here's where, yet again, balance comes into play. We are on vacation so the plan is to pick back up where we left off when we get back to our everyday routine at home.

With all that said, I'm not weighing in until I'm a week or two into my normal routine. How do you handle exercise while on a week long vacation?

I Actually Made It To The Next Level!

I'm doing the BeachBody Slim in 6 program and though I've attempted it before, I never got to the second work out, Ramp It Up (48 minutes). It turned out when I was attempting to complete this program, I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, Mason was a baby, and Dave was deployed to Iraq, lots of stress. I tried to do that workout but just couldn't physically do it. Today I did, all 48 minutes of it. Even better is that I gave it a go a few days earlier than prescribed.

I wanted to do something different so I thought I would do some of it, and work up to completing it. I did it. And I'm going to do it again, for two more weeks when I will then be confronted with Burn It Up, a whopping 55 minutes of sheer, muscle burning hell! Laughing!
