Still Here

I just got back a few days ago from a week's vacation in Vegas. My 50th birthday present. We had some great experiences but I got sick from the barf-et we ate at one night and am just getting over it. We saw a couple of Circque de Soleil shows and I bought a new Tiffany necklace and some Channel sunglasses so all is well. The weather was great considering it was 19 below when we left and the high was about 70 there. I am back in mid February hell here in Wisconsin.

Still feeling the effects of the food poisoning though. I am certain it was not flu. I think. I am very tired and can't wait for the weekend to chill out and rest a little. Vegas was definitely not my kind of place. Once was enough. I need some relaxation on a vacation besides laying in bed and barfing and having diarrhea from the food. Next year we are getting married and going back to Couples in Jamaica for a vacation. Now that is MY kind of vacation. The food was great, I could buy pot there, and could relax and do yoga every day.

I am sure I lost weight with this plague. I bought Alwyn Cosgrove's Afterburn program and was going to start that Monday but am not up to the exercise yet. I did yoga yesterday but it was rough. This has been the first day I could eat normal food so am working my way into the nutrition plan and hope to be exercising tomorrow or the day after. I will probably keep the blog up better hereafter. I have stayed the same on the scale pretty much since I hit maintenance and really have not improved physically. Except my yoga practice really has improved a lot. But I have this flabby belly and some other areas so I need this now. I hope it doesn't make me gain like P90X did. It is supposed to be a fat loss, but I think this is a totally different program and you don't hit the weights as hard right away as you do in Tony Horton's program. I would like some physique improvement by summer.

Anyway back to the grind at work and diet and exercise. Hopefully I will be teaching yoga by this summer. I am putting my goal of getting a certification in personal training on hold. I have had a lot of daughter issues lately and need to get in some sort of groove again and be able to not have her stress in my life. We are getting there.

Just so tired from that vacation.

Yay! Welcome back! Sorry to hear that you got sick. Vegas isn't my thing either (I live about 4 hours away too).
I was doing P90X too but got a cold a few weeks ago and haven't gone back. In fact, my whole exercise/eating program has gone down the pipes. I need some motivation!
