Family Vacation: how healthy was I?

Ahhhhh it’s so nice to get back to the groove of things after being gone for a bit. We went on out annual family vacation to Gulf Shores, AL. We had a blast. Family of sting rays were in the ocean the first couple of days, did some outlet shopping, my nephews came home with new pet crabs. Ate at our normal places but also tried some new ones as well. I am not a seafood eater, so kept it to wraps & grilled chicken mostly.

My goal vacation week was to continue my workout plan and keep up with healthy eating.

My workouts did not go as planned. Our condo was too small and I was super distracted when I tried to do them. So I scratched those this week and took many walks on the beach and outside the planation. My husband and I tried to average 4 miles a day.

Oh my goodness would I love to go back and change my eating this past week. My body is making it loud & clear that it didn’t like anything I ingested. I was off to a good start and then picked a few fries off others plates & the daiquiris didn’t help either. I just didn’t have the discipline this trip as I do at home because all the extra candy & snacks are not available. When I treated myself, I kept telling myself that I am on vacation & I earned it. On another, I will be in Vegas in 2 weeks for a Beachbody conference.

SO,  the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse is on.

XOXO,
