I got back from vacation yesterday. Interesting conversation about the weighing. I can tell you, I didn't weigh anything while away!!! My daughter did let my secret slip that I weigh my food at home though. I felt a little silly. But the results are worth it. I felt comfortable about my body which is an unusual feeling for me.
I ate a lot while away!! But my weight is the same as when I left, which was my goal. We walked a lot and that helped. Also, on two occasions I fasted until dinner time. It wasn't hard to do. I was so full from eating so much on the previous day that I really didn't get hungry until the next evening. I am puffy from too much sodium, sugar and wine, but the scale hasn't gone up.
So now, back to the grind stone. This morning's workout:
Pullups: 5,4,4,5
Reverse lunge, one dumbbell on shoulder: 3X8 20#
Dumbbell 2 point row: 3X8 25#
Dumbbell push press: 3X8 20# e.h.
Pushups: 3X8
Reverse crunch: 3X15
15 min of light cardio:
Jump rope
hoola hoop
The cardio was more for fun. I have my kids home with me so I was working out in the basement. My 8 year old daughter wanted to work out with me so I gave her set of 2# dumbbells and let her do it. When we were done we started jumping rope and hoola hooping. We had the music blasting and we brought our parrot downstairs on her perch while we were working out. We have been trying to teach her to dance, but so far she hasn't done it. Today she was flapping her wings a little with all the comotion. All in all, a fun workout. It is good to be home.
