I promised a photo of me and yogi bear and I do not want to dissapoint...... He is standing near the entrance to the campground. I just couldn't let a great photo op go by!
We are having a great time in St. Louis. Yesterday we toured the Basilica, the Arch, had a fantastic lunch sitting outside in the sun, went to a couple of casino's and toured the Budweiser facilities. After we got back to the campground, we got a good fire going and our friends cooked dinner. We even went up to karoke at the campground's main house and had a sing-a-long. The popular song was Elvira. It was funny, the girl in charge of the karoke had never heard it and couldn't believe all these "old folks" were singing! She went running in to the office to see if they were videotaping it! So fun. However, with a campfire for me, comes runny noses and sore throats. BUT.... I can't wait to do it again tonight
Today we are planning on going to the Farmer's Market, the Botanical Gardens, the Cathedral and lunch on the Hill! Can't wait to get started.
Saturday's are my update days on my challenge.
I've been doing really good until we left for vacation. It is so hard to stay on track when you are having so much fun. My food has been pretty good (other than some banana bread pudding and a few adult beverages), but my workouts have fallen by the wayside. We are doing TONS of walking and I am meeting my calorie burn goal for each day, so I'm not going to worry about it too much.
I did do my Shakeology Cleanse for 2 1/2 days. It is supposed to go for 3 days, but all I could think about was food the last night, so I ate. I don't think you should be starving yourself by any means ( I wasn't), but if food is all you are thinking about, then you should eat.
I was doing my workouts and a few of the P90X weight workouts were really hard with that few of calories. I think that when I do it again then I will do lighter workouts.
RESULTS: I lost 3 1/2 lbs. I didn't take my measurements and probably should have. My jeans were looser!!
I think it is a great way to kickstart a weight loss program or just any exercise program. If you want all the details, let me know. I'll get it posted here or send it to you by email.
Discussion: Do you plan for you "diet" to start or do you pig out before it starts! I think you should just go for it from the beginning and not allow yourself to sabotage your efforts before you even begin!
