All right, vacation's over, time to get back on track. Even if it's only for a few days until the next trip in a few days for a family reunion weekend.
As one should on vacation, I didn't worry too much about what I was putting in my mouth for a few days. I still kept away from dairy and gluten (came close to giving in on an ice cream sundae though, but just kept reminding myself about the abdominal distress that would follow for a couple days...). And while I may have hit my calories each day (thanks to most of a bag of Fritos and some chips, and a bit (ok, a lot) of frosting that my daughter got to decorate Brian's leftover birthday cupcakes), I certainly didn't meet my protein goal each day. The place we stayed offered a continental breakfast, which doesn't do a whole lot for me, so we brought a griddle and cooked up eggs and sausage in our room. We also found a great breakfast restaurant called The Egg and I - tasty omelets, even without cheese (went there twice)! I indulged in a couple adult beverages most days. But we grilled up a healthy dinner of chicken and green beans one night, and burgers for lunch another day. So, all in all, I could have been worse. I was WAY short on water though. Just couldn't get into the habit of sipping all day while running after the kids.

A fellow mom who's also been on a journey to health posted a pic of herself wearing a bikini top for the first time ever while on vacation, proud to show off all her hard work. So, I was inspired to wear one too. I ordered this cute 2-piece, which was supposed to be high waisted (I was hoping it would go just over my belly button to hide that bit of extra skin there, but it didn't quite make it that high). I tried it on when I got it, and my daughter gave me the most wonderful compliments, saying I looked so nice - almost made me cry (coincidentally, just saw this great post about another mom's wonderful kids complimenting her). But, still, never mustered up the nerve to wear it all week. Lord knows I should have felt comfortable enough considering all the bodies I saw in bikinis at the water park and beach all week, but just too self conscious, especially around Brian's extended family. Making a promise to myself to wear it when we go to Florida in September though.
When we got back, I hit our box with a vengeance on Saturday. I did the Oly class at 8am (and got a new 2RM high hang snatch at 100#!), and then stayed for the WOD at 9am, which I don't normally do since I'm usually beat from the Oly class. But, I figured I was really well rested and had plenty of carbs in the tank, so I should go for it. It was a doozy, but I was pretty pleased with my finish time of 28:24 considering that I'd already done the Oly class. Then I ate pretty well all day...until I went on a girls' night with my sister and mother-in-law to dinner (2 drinks with a healthy Cobb Salad) and a movie (large popcorn - YUM).
- 50 calorie row
- 50 thrusters @ 35# - didn't I just do 150 thrusters a couple weeks ago???
- 50 km swings w/ 53# kettlebell - first time using the 53# - that was heavy! Dropped it from overhead once, and left a nice crater in the plywood! Just had to take it 5-10 swings at a time. And was my back sore the next day!
- 50 pull ups - I jumped from a stack of 2 45s and a 25# plate, and still could only do 5 reps at a time since I was so tired already
- 50 thrusters @ 35# - did sets of 10, and definitely had the black stare going on while pacing between sets
