Jump Starting on my Own

A friend called me today to ask if I wanted to join her on a fitness "vacation".  This so called vacation is just 45 minutes north of my home and is a week long live-in intensive fitness program.  That does not sound like a vacation to me!  Not sure all what they do there, but "intensive" anything doesn't sound good to me.  Hell, even intense chocolate is too rich to enjoy too much of it.  Oh, and the cost of this vacation?  Almost $2,000!  Nearly two grand and you don't even get to fly there nor do you get tropical weather. 

My friend is hoping this will help "jump start" her and her fitness trials.  Had she asked me to join her about one month ago, I may have said yes.  And because I would have said yes to a fitness program starting at the end of August, I would have had a DQ Blizzard every day, french fries every night, and several binge fests in between.  Instead, I jump started myself exactly 25 days ago and am still going strong.  And getting stronger every day.

I'm hoping my friend finds the answers she is looking for on her fitness vacation.  While she is there, I will be here doing my own "intensive" vacation.  See, it is then that I am on vacation from work, and I intend to get the maximum amount of mileage out of my roller blades and hiking shoes.  Just like I did today!

Intake:
Cereal with blueberries

salad (with tons of veggies on top), cottage cheese, grapes and cherries

apple
freeze pop
snack pack pudding

turkey and cheese sandwich, veggies with spinach dip, cherries and pineapple

Seems like I ate a lot today, and I actually got stuffed from my dinner.  I did eat maybe more than usual, but I also exercised like crazy today!

Activity:
40 minute walk
25 minute roller blade
another 30 minute walk
Total=85 minutes!

Plus I worked in the garden for about an hour today as well.  Gotta embrace this nice weather while I can!
