Post Vacation

Just got back from the Bahamas and I have to say I'm not feeling the home routine yet. It's hard because it's still winter and I decided to sleep in this morning instead of getting up. I had thought to go for a run on my neighbour's treadmill but instead surfed the Internet while my son and husband napped. Now I'm feeling sleepy again. I'm going to really try to run tomorrow. 

I'm happy to report no major weight gain while I vacation even though I was a little constipated (might be too much info I realize). No snacking either but I did have a daiquiri everyday and wine and beer so I assumed there would be some weight gain. Didn't eat a ton while travelling to the Bahamas though so maybe that had something to do with it. 

My left calf ended up feeling cramped the last day which was weird. I am wondering if it was dehydration (was not consuming as much water as usual) but I'm not sure. When I was training for a half marathon in 2010 I kept cramping in my side and finally realized after 2-3 weeks that it was due to dehydration (felt fine otherwise but when I started drinking water after work the cramping went away). 

The last couple of days I've been feeling hungrier and I have no idea why that is. Maybe I've been having too many carbs and while filling at the time maybe it just isn't long lasting. 

The vacation was excellent. Usually I feel sleepy when we are on vacation but this time I was actually energized. Maybe it was all the sunshine and the warmth without humidity. I have to say it was great and I wish we could have stayed longer. 

So now I'm back to reality and will be hopefully starting another exercise program this week. I'll let you know and start letting you know how it's going when I do!

Find the sun and re-energize if you can!
