Congress went nuts before leaving for the July 4 recess, which is now, and I was just exhausted. Plus my parents were in town over the weekend and while we were active it wasn't the same. We did plenty of walking around but I didn't get in any workouts.
It's hard enough to battle the bulge while exercising, never mind while not doing much of anything. But boy, I definitely have noticed the difference. My waist is jabba-the-hutish.
So now that they are gone and I've got a couple of days left of recess left I'm going to get back on track.
My mom has lost weight working out and she feels and looks a lot better. My dad, on the other hand, doesn't really care and I see the effects. My mentality has always been to stay in shape and I'm sticking with that.
My eating isn't too bad. I'm getting a lot of my food from the farmers market so I'm eating zukes and tons of fruit. I recently bought a tabletop gas grill and did up some chicken and buffalo burgers over the weekend. I'm trying to stick with light fare with the really hot weather. Argh.
Overall, I can do better. Much better.
I will probably be doing a bike trip toward the end of the month -- the Great Allegheny -- so I'm going to prep on the trainer and hopefully get in some rides before then. We'll see.
Everyone keep up the good work through all this heat. Brutal.
