Vacation FAIL

Considering how serious I sounded in my last blog, I am ashamed to report that vacation did not go as planned. I purposely tried to find a place that had a pool and a fitness room. Well, the pool was basically a giant tub - not decent for even drill swimming. Then the "fitness room" had one very broken stationary bike, (it wouldn't turn on, the screen cracked) one useless elliptical, and a treadmill that didn't stop. There was also a very confusing weight machine.

On Friday, even though I didn't want to, I pedaled on the broken bike then I fast walked on the treadmill. After that I didn't really want to use broken equipment and we went to the Cubs/Cards game Saturday so I decided to take that day off. Sunday came around and we went to the Gateway Arch and then to the Anheuser-Busch Brewery and didn't do much else. Monday, I also didn't work out but we did a hell of a lot of walking. First, we walked the entire St. Louis Zoo. It's really awesome and super nice and we went through the Penguin exhibit twice! :) Then we walked two different malls so even though it wasn't structured we walked 4+ miles that day. The worst part is I didn't really track my food, and there was so much delicious barbeque. (Seriously if you are ever in St.Louis you NEED to go to The Shaved Duck. Just do it, you'll thank me later)

So I'm upset with myself. At Weight Watchers they always say, 'don't let a bad day turn into a bad week' and that's what I did I got lazy and my bad day turned into a bad long weekend. But as I said before, I'm trying to blog as honestly as possible and I am now holding myself accountable for my actions. Tomorrow it's back to the grind and back to tracking faithfully. I'm trying, but it is hard. I'm learning that I don't have the greatest resolve and strength so it's just another thing I need to work on.

Im not going to let a bad week turn into a bad month and completely derail my training. I WILL NOT.
