My day of rest, though not very restful, was awesome. We took the little monster on his first camping trip. He chased the dogs, helped gather firewood, took a few hikes and of course, ended up in the creek. I got to ride ATV’s, help cook breakfast, and enjoy the company of my family.
After we got home and got everything cleaned up it was time for my weigh in. I’ve been greatly anticipating this as it’ll be my first after starting the Insanity program. I was a little nervous, having indulged in smores and a dutch oven apple dessert while up there but hoped the burned calories chasing the little monster around the campsite made up for that. As it turns out, I had cause to be nervous. According to the Wii Fit I have gained 2 lbs. Now it made sure to tell me that since I weighed in the evening instead of the mornings that will throw the scale. Your weight can fluxuate during the day. Tomorrow morning I will try again and just see what it has to say. I’m not letting that fact take the blame though… I know it’s because on my day of rest I completely threw the diet to the wind and ate everything the family was eating.
I’m determined not to be discouraged though. This has renewed my commitment to follow this program to the letter. No more smores. No more bbq chips. No more sugar coated anything. The latter part of this week I felt better than I have in years with extra energy and stamina to do the things that I loved. Today I feel sluggish and I have a headache which I’m sure has everything to do with the sugar I’ve consumed. My mother tells me every time she overindulges like that her workout the next day take a force of will to complete until the body works out all of the excess sugar. I’m not really looking forward to that… Insanity is hard enough as it is! I suppose tomorrow might teach me a valuable lesson on paying attention to what I eat.
