Lets Keep On Track On Vacation

I’m lying on my dad’s floor in Hebron, CT watching the Red Sox vs Yankees which means the family vacation officially begins. My first challenge: Don’t raid the fridge, Second: Try to find time to workout, Third: Stick to the plan.

Before I left on Thursday night Christy and I sat down and made a food plan for the next 4 days. One little Christy secret she gave me was if you can’t find something in small town USA, bring it with you. In my suitcase she put a zip-lock bag of Quinoa that should last the whole time I’m here, a bag a dried organic mango to snack on and some Lara Bars that taste so good.

As for my workouts, technically I’m only missing my Monday with Rob but it feels like a long time. So, I took Friday off after a killer leg workout on Thursday…those dam stairs. Oh, by the way, where there are stairs there is also a hill. Don’t get me started on the hill. So, Friday off, cardio on Saturday and Sunday, then Rob will email me a workout I can do with bands on Monday. As with the food Christy gave me, Rob sent me with 2 bands, all of which takes up very little room in my suitcase.

We all know when you’re with your family food can be a little rough. The chip dips seem to line the fridge walls. Your step Mom asks you if you want homemade blueberry or apple pie and the local diner makes some sweet ass pancakes. At least in small town Connecticut they do. So, my challenge is to limit those foods, workout and as some dead English guy said, “stay the course.”

All in all, 5 weeks are down in the Sky Fit Challenge. I’ve lost almost 10 pounds, I’m down about 3% body fat and I really feel good.
