Day#71: Back to the real world, and into the saddle again

Hello from the other side... Disney World Count Down Complete!

So, I'm back from Disney World, and the best vacation i've had in a very long time. I didn't realize just how much I needed a vacation until I was on it. I realized it even more coming back to work today, it was tough getting back into the swing of things again after enjoying the magic of not having responsibilities. I really get now why Heather, and I quote "Can Disney just pay me to live here?" haha!

Being back wasn't as bad as I was expecting (knock on wood) at least not yet. Throwing myself into work again will be good for me; as will getting back onto my weekly workout grind! Today was my first day back in the gym after vacation, and boy it's tough... I really didn't realize how much my health can change in just over a week of time without going to the gym. Let me tell you, it can.

I think though over all, I'm very very proud of what I've accomplished, both generally as well as in preparation for Disney World. My feet survived, I survived and was 200% happier than my trip to Disneyland last year.

Fun tidbit: I didn't wear my Fitbit all the days that I was at the parks, I did wear it on a couple and figured that I averaged around the same or between these two numbers each day... One day I walked 33132 steps, and another day I walked 18971 steps, that comes out to approximately 9.1 - 15.7 miles a day that I walked. Way cool! I can do amazing things.

I do feel a bit ashamed on the other hand though, I didn't eat as well as I told myself I would. However, I don't think it'll hold me back from continuing my progress. Tomorrow I see Kendra again for the first time since vacation! Yay! I'm not sure if she'll want to do the measurements tomorrow or Thursday... to see what damage WDW did. Maybe she'll just forgo it and we'll wait another week before doing that again.

I'm anxious though to see Kendra again, eager to make new goals and to move forward. No looking back. I've done my best I'll forget the rest. ;) Got to decide on a new goal to work toward, One that will actually motivate me. Hard to compete with WDW but I'll think of something.

Happy Monday All! Happy May!

(No, I haven't forgotten about posting pictures from my trip. I'll do that soon, I promise)
