glutes and hams soore from workout on Thurs. also triceps sore from workout yesterday. (yay) doing some new things to switch it up a bit. so today is normally a long cardio day but im going to do some powerboxing with a friend instead and tomorrow will be a rest day. decent workout week despite working everyday and having a family funeral to go to midweek. I managed to get soild workouts in as well as keep food in check and staying away from food I do not want to put in my body at some of the events I was at this past week.

Well i have tried to update my journal 2x on my phone and halfway through my posts i have accidentaly hit some wrong button and deleted my post. so im sort of angry right now. Despite being on vacation and out of my normal routine i have worked out every day except tues which was a travel day. I brought my powerboxing mitts and pads so i have done that with my husband a few times. One cool thing about being on vacation is working out together, he is not as passionate about health/fitness as i am but has come a long way! At the condo we are at there is an eliptical and a pulley weight station thing. I have kept my normal strength training sched and used the pulleys buti miss my barbells and dumbells. I have been doing a lot of bodyweight excercises and circuits (husband hates those) i have used the eliptical for hiits. As far as food i have kept it mostly vegan with the exception of some fish and eggs. We are in a seafood heavy area. We have a kitchen which is good so i stocked up on essentials. Brought my vegan protein powder and healthforce vitamineral greens (awesome) found a great natural foods market and got some very tasty sprouted tofu for salads. Going to a restaurant today called the mellow mushroom, i looked at the menu online and vegan options are avail(yay)i will be happy to get back in my normal routine on wed but have gotten in some good relaxation.

Kelly, I'm so proud of you! You are so incredible for keeping up with your fitness and nutrition routine while enjoying your vacation! Very admirable! And I also love that you got your husband working out with you! So great! Hope you're enjoying getting back into the routine of "normal" life again. You're doing so great!

Thanks Karen! Yes im back to my normal life which is good. Nice to get away for a bit though. Im in such a routine now with journaling my workouts on this site that i was kind of freaking out that i couldnt for a few days. I just really like doing it, i feel like im competing with myself if i log the workout. So then i can look back and try to do better. Since changing my diet to waay more vegan over the last few months i honestly am at my strongest i have ever been.

Are you back at home now and able to get back to working out regularly?....im looking for you to post another killer strength workout this coming week! How did you feel after your bicep workout the other day?

You're so sweet, Kelly! I love that you love posting here! Thanks for your words of encouragement. Yes, I am now back home, but hopefully only temporarily. I am applying for a new job, which if (when!) I get it, would (will!) involve moving out-of-state. (Trying to think/speak positively! ) Hopefully, I'll be able to say more about it soon!

 

Got a run in yesterday and am looking forward to doing some more weights. I like doing them, but think I'm figuring out that I don't like doing them alone. I prefer to do them with a partner. Hmm... I'll have to get over that pronto!

 

Your workouts are inspiring, for sure!

yes doing weight training with a partner is really fun especially to push each other a bit harder than you would on your own. Hopefully everything works out and you can get this new possible job! good luck to you!
