The holidays are always a challenge. Too much food, too many parties. And then you throw travel into the mix. It’s challenging at best. And this year I decided to go to London to spend time with family. Had a wonderful time. But I truly tried to be mindful of what I was eating most of the time. Luckily I’ve developed some good exercise habits which helped offset some of my calorie intake. I made a concerted effort to walk everywhere. That made a huge difference. I’ll bet I walked 8-9 miles each day.
In addition to getting terrific exercise it’s a great way to really sightsee.
I hit the ground running once I got back to Denver. Luckily since I had jet lag I was up bright and early Monday and Tuesday so I hit the gym pretty hard. Today I had a session with Kate. Every time I see her she comes up with different ways to challenge me. God knows I’m never bored with my workout sessions. Today’s was great…hard, but great. Kate really knows how to mix it up. And I think it all helps with jet lag too. I found I didn’t miss a beat even with a 7 hour time difference…
in London or Denver. Tomorrow another lovely Xbike class at 6am. I do feel motivated since I kinda fell off the diet bandwagon on Thanksgiving. Just have to work that much harder to keep the results I’ve gotten thus far. I can really tell a difference. All this hard work is paying off. I plan on buying a couple of new outfits for the holiday parties…that’s always a great reward.
Survived Thanksgiving (I think)
