Refreshed and Recharged

I'm back! Been on the road for a work trip and then straight to a family vacation at the beach.

Right before I left, I had used the BeachBody 3 Day Refresh kit so I could fit into my work clothes :-). It's always nerve wrecking to go into a professional environment and be dressed up when I work from home pretty much everyday in my workout gear.

I only lost about 3 pounds with the refresh and I will have to calculate all the measurement deltas later. The biggest gain for me though was just learning to appreciate and make better food choices as well as reducing my sugar needs. I think that was a big win. I started to drink black coffee on my trip. I've since regressed and have to put in a bit of sugar or milk on the strong stuff, but at least I can get by with just a little bit versus heaping portions of sugar. I'm eating better now for the most part except the occasional indulgence (butter chicken last night at our favorite Indian restaurant).

Anyway, I've thought about what I wanted to do when I got home if I wanted to get back on PiYo or do something else. I decided to go back to doing Focus T25. It's my true love and it's easier to stick to something I love.

I set my alarm for 7:15am this morning to ease back into getting up early. I snoozed until 8:15am. It's rough because I haven't been sleeping well on the road and am up way early even in vacation. Now that I'm home and needing to be up earlier, I struggle because my bed is so cozy. *sigh*.

So I didn't get my workout in this am. I did go workout at 8pm. My friend Alice came over and did Day 1 with me. She did an amazing job!! I'm glad she came over as it was completely a last minute invitation resulting from her messaging me and asking if I liked to walk and wanted to be her walking partner. Little did she know what she was about to get into. ;-)

Well I'm glad I took an extra day off of work to get settled back in. Tomorrow though it is back to the grind.
