I'm back from vacation, and, considering everything, I think I did pretty well! I went to Rehoboth Beach, and my hotel was located on the boardwalk, so we walked EVERYWHERE. We walked to the beach, we walked to get food, we walked to go to the amusement park, we walked to go shopping, we walked to explore, and we walked JUST TO WALK. I walked so much that I pulled a muscle! I didn't really get to work out any in terms of insanity, and my eating wasn't superb, but I tried to keep my meals small and as healthy as possible without depriving myself while on vacation! There was one night where I only ate 1/3 of the french fries served to me. I was so proud of myself!

So, I'm not sure how much weight I gained, though I think I've gained a few pounds. So, I'm going to give myself a week before I weigh in again, and hopefully I'll be able to get myself closer to where I should be! I'm glad to be back though!

So, you know when surprise visitors throw a wrench in your system?? Well, a long time friend I don't see very often wanted to hang out yesterday, so I didn't get to work out. However, I did eat well, and I'm definitely committed to trying the zig zag thing today. Here's how it REALLY works (they don't really go into it until like page 250 of the book *facepalm*):
Days 1-3: eat the following for your meals:
Breakfasts (2 of them):
lean protein (like eggs or lean meat)
simple carb (like fruit)
complex carb (like oatmeal)
Lunch:
lean protein (like grilled chicken)
complex carb (like whole wheat bread)
fibrous carb (like salad or broccoli)
Dinners (2 of them):
Lean protein (like fish)
fibrous carb (like salad)
[the idea here is that your last two meals are low carb for your low days, then on the 4th day, you have a 'high' day, where you get to add complex carbs to the last two meals to refuel your glycogen stores and trick your body into not going into starvation mode]

Since I didn't get to that chapter until last night, I thought zig zagging only had to do with total calorie reduction, but now that I know the secret, I can't wait to try it out! Also, I've been itching to work out since yesterday, so I'm super pumped for today!

Well, my body is certainly doing something a little weird, in that my weight is fluctuating like crazy. In all fairness, I think I've been eating reasonably well (most of what I've been eating has been good for me), though I did indulge more than I usually do yesterday during second lunch. I was intensely craving these lightly breaded perdue chicken strips, so I had more of them than I probably should have. I'll just make a better effort to keep on top of things today, that's all!

Yesterday, I did the total body burn workout from the Hip Hop Abs series, and man, it was a lot tougher than I was expecting. Unlike the Fat Burning Cardio workout, there are lots of strengthening workouts, like for your arms. My arms were still sore from the strength workout I did on Saturday, so it was tough, but I did it!! Though it wasn't my favorite, it has me pumped to do more intense cardio today! Sometimes, it just takes pushing through an off day to get you back in the groove!

Goals today: plan out all of my meals ahead of time so that I don't over indulge and end up with at least a protein and complex carb per meal, preferably with a fibrous vegetable too!
