Vacation Test

Hi Everyone – Recently, I had a very fun weekend in Atlanta with KimB, TeriB and KimberlyE.  We went to the Braves Baseball game and saw a great game!  How many women do you know would choose to do that for a girls' weekend out?  We were teasing each other about what we should eat or not eat; but we also bragged about how we work out all the time so we can eat - so we did!!!

Our conversations were a lot about fitness and improving our health.  To cap it off, we stopped to shop at Tanger Outlets on the way home.  We were laughing because most women wouldn't pick the shops we stopped at - Nike, Reebok, Adidas and Under Armour; and boy did we look good in what we bought!!!   We got some great bargains and couldn't wait to strut our new stuff in the gym.  We finished our trip by talking about how tomorrow we were all going to get back on track with our eating and exercising.

Do you think that way when you are on vacation?  What do you talk about?  What do you read?   What do you shop for?    What choices do you make when you go out to eat?  Do you plan to not overeat?  etc.

We all need to take vacations which include rest and relaxation.  Can we splurge, absolutely!  Do we need to get back on track when we get home, absolutely!  Look at the bigger picture of life.  Where am I now with my fitness and where am I going.  These little trips will probably show you glimpses of who you are inside and how in control you are of your decisions.

Enjoy your vacations this summer, minimize the damage done of course; and get back on track when you get home.  It’s all worth it!  Enjoy the rest of your summer!  Lynette
