I hope everyone enjoyed a happy 4th of July with friends and/or family!
I find it really difficult to stick to my goals around the holidays. There's usually so much going on that health and fitness gets lost in the shuffle. The only time I don't completely lose it around the holidays is when I have specific goals in place which allow me to stick to some sort of fitness/health plan. For example, I was proud this morning when I woke up early and did my ab workout before any of my boys woke up. Score! I never would have done that had I not signed up for this challenge. I knew there was no way I was going to do it after a long day with family and friends. I drank most of my water throughout today, but I am pounding 8oz right now, before I go to bed. I failed completely on sweets, but luckily that was not one of my goals this week.
Holidays are so tough! I should probably set specific goals for them: only one sweet, go back for seconds of veggies, etc. How did you do this 4th of July?
Wait . . . calories you eat on holidays count? I always think of them as free days. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, we made Chocolate Malt Cupcakes, mmmm! But like you I forced myself to go running with the kids this morn. The water thing is a bit of a trick; I had to use a "john" yesterday, as in the Ar-Jons on the side of the park. Ugh! But it wasn't the worst I've seen and made for a better parade experience. Sorry for the potty talk. I have a 3 yr-old, it's catching.
ReplyDeleteGlad you posted about the abs, I almost forgot mine today! Thanks!
