Just about back to normal
Today I got back from a four day trip to south GA and I can't tell you how happy I am to be back. Don't get me wrong the trip was great and I was glad to go, it was the right thing to do, but it was a bit challenging. First of all I had to bring all my workout stuff with me so I didn't miss any of the workouts and I had to make a few changes to the schedule but I am glad that I did. Here is how the last few days went down. Sunday we left for the trip so I work up around 4:45 so that I could get my workout in and still have time to shower and be ready to go for the nine hour drive. I had my normal breakfast then got on the road for the drive. We ended up stopping at a Panera where I was able to get a salad that I like and that does fit pretty well into my nutrition plan. I ended up having peanuts for a snack in the car and drank plenty of water. When we got to our final destination I ended up having two lean pockets for dinner so my sodium and fat levels were higher than they should be but for the most part not too bad a day. The next day came along and I had to fit in my Yoga X which I was able to do after breakfast. My breakfast was not my normal and was about half the morning calories than I eat so I was pretty hunger most of the day. By the time the day was over I was about 600 calories under my goal so when I woke up the next morning I was starving. Tuesday came along and the day started out OK but kind of went down hill from there. I had a good breakfast and got as close to my normal meal as I could after I worked out. I got to do my first chest and back of this second round and I added intensity by using bands for the back exercises since I didn't have my pull up bar and used my new push up bars. When I woke up this morning I was a little disappointed since I didn't have as mush soreness as I would have expected but that has since changed. When I was done with the workout we got to have family time and we went to a buffet for lunch but I had green beans, black eyed peas, a salad and lots of baked chicken. So all in all a good meal I even took the skin off the chicken to make it better. Then dinner came, we went to Pizza Hut Buffet which as you can imagine there was nothing good there. I did make a big salad with low cal dressing and plenty of chick peas and kidney beans to fill up a little but I did hit the pizza twice (abotu 3.5 slices worth) and I even had two chocolate chip cookies when I got back to the house so that was not a good day but once in 5 months is OK in my book. We left today and I had an apple, some turkey sausage, and yogurt for breakfast. I had a protein bar a little later and for lunch I had a huge cuban sandwich with broccoli salad, and I even tried a few spoonfuls of strawberry ice cream. I skipped a snack and had an early dinner of chicken salad, steamed broccoli and carrots, an apple, and a fiber one 90 calorie bar before coming to school. All in all considering the challenges with the travel and where we were staying I didn't do too bad but I look forward to being able to workout at home again and getting back on track with my eating. Today I took a rest day due to the travel so I have not missed a workout and tomorrow will be cardio x with some ab ripper x so I will be totally back on track with the workouts. I even scheduled my day so I can sleep in a little bit and still get my workout in so give me tomorrow and all should be right in my fitness world again. Can't tell you how happy that makes me.
