Return From Vacation: Time To Get Back On Track!

Hello, my Bloggee's!

I just returned from a very enjoyous vacation with my family!  We went to Disneyland and had a blast!  We took our granddaughters, Breanna (8 yrs) and Lilyanna (5 months), and they had a great time!  Bree has been there many times before, but this was Lily's first time.  She was so good, and loved all of the kiddie rides!  She even got to go on Pirates of the Caribbean!  She loved it! She is so alert for only being 5 months old... she laughed on every ride!  You should have seen her little face light up through "It's a Small World"... she was amazed and fascinated by the lights and all of the colors.  It was truly an amazing and much needed vacation.

I did very good sticking to my eat clean lifestyle while on vacation.  I already knew where all of the cleanest foods were located inside and outside of Disneyland.  I also stuck to my food treats that I pre-planned before going:  A hand-dipped Disney Corndog, and a Nestle Tollhouse Ice cream Sandwich!  The rest of my meals were clean.  We carried our own bottled water, as well as snacks such as nuts, seeds, and dry as well as organic fruits and raw veggie sticks.  We took our own oatmeal, almond milk, fruits, and nuts and made "Overnight Oats" to eat in our hotel room.  We also got a ton of exercise in daily!

I seem to be having a little bit of trouble getting back on track with my normal daily "routine" now that I am home.  I was very busy over this past weekend as well, and I feel like I am just so fatigued!  I am sore, tired, and achy.  I feel mentally exhausted... and I think that is from all of the fun of Disneyland!  I had no "rest and relaxation" days by choice... I wanted to enjoy each and every moment of my granddaughter's days and nights at Disney.  Mission accomplished!  I spent an entire week rising at the crack of dawn, and going to bed around 1 am.  I think I just need a few days of "down time" now to re-adjust.



I have not worked out in my gym since I've been home.  I'm actually really sore and achy from walking around Disneyland, standing in line the whole time, as well as 2 motorcycle rides I went on over the weekend upon returning home.  It's hard on the body riding a bike for 5-8 hours at a time, maneuvering a clutch and brakes, without taking a break! No wonder I'm so sore! Lol.

This week I will spend just relaxing while working from home.  I'll take it slow getting back into the swing of things.  I am eating clean as usual, but I do plan on resuming workouts tomorrow morning bright and early.  The Eat-Clean Diet webpage is still active, and the 5th Annual Makeover Challenge is still in effect! So there is lots to do still!

As Always, Eat Clean, Train Mean, and LIVE LEAN!
