Vacation Time

So here's a chronicle of my vacation as I navigate the perils of having fun and still staying reasonably healthy.  I'm going to list food choices and workouts for each day.  That way I can see how well or poorly I did.  Should be fun? Also started with a weight of 236.  Let's see where I'm at after vacation.

Saturday is the first day of the vacation.  I skipped workout with Lorinda as I was playing with the game group the nite before.  We were up until midnite and I really didn't feel too excited about then getting out of bed by six in the morning.  I had a commitment at 10am, I gave myself a pass.  After my commitment though it was lunch time and lunch was Mexican.  I was good and only ate half of the burrito I ordered but did add a soda (Mt Dew) and chips and salsa.  Later in the day I finished off the rest of lunch.  I mixed it up with some spinach and eggs for a giant scramble.  Throw in a couple of donuts and pastry along with some adult beverages and there you have the first day of vacation.  Not too bad but probably shouldn't have had the soda and donuts.  Still for the first day I'm okay with it.

Sunday started with a 45 min bike ride.  Starting to get out and ride some, felt good.  Today was also a game day but that is later.  So after the bike ride I had a double meat roast beef sandwich  with the last of the pastry from the day before and some snap peas.  At the game I had three granola bars and two rice crispy treats.  After the game I came home and had a small nachos.  Also some pistachios and the last of the pastry.  Also a couple of adult beverages.

Monday I think I went off the deep end.  Fortunately I did a full body workout with a 30min cardio thrown in for good measure.  But I started the day with a egg/roast beef/cheese bagel.  Lunch was a chicken and rice dish for a local restaurant and a soda.  It was another game day but I didn't have anything until I got home (which was a mistake).  I should have taken a couple of granola bars to tide me over.  I was extremely hungry and my food decisions reflected that.  I started with nachos along with guacamole, that was followed by a sandwich on rye bread with egg/roast beef/cheese.  I finished it off with some almonds and an adult beverage.  This was not good but I enjoyed the extreme meal choice.  Again it just goes to show that depriving yourself really makes things worse.

Tuesday I slept in until almost 11am ( reaction to my late nite overindulgence?).  I had another egg and this time pastrami cheese sandwich along with some chips.  A mid afternoon lunch was a roast beef, pastrami, cheese, tomato sandwich on rye.  Followed by some chips and almonds.  I then hit the gym for my Tues kettlebell class.  After the gym I was hungry again so I did a broccoli, cauliflower, shredded carrot, and chicken stir-fry.  With some egg added for more protein.

I'll post the rest of the week in a second entry.  Wish me luck.
