I'm back from Sin City! And yeah...being in the city with endless buffets and drinks galore, I need some motivation and I need it in a bad way. I sad to say that my working out last week...yeah, that didn't happen. I do have to say I have good reason, though. The gym at my hotel? Not free. Yeah, you pay $20 a day for that. And it was crappy, too, so I just couldn't bring myself to pay that much to walk on a treadmill. And the hotel floor? You couldn't pay me to lay on that floor to do crunches. I did find a walking path, though, and I skipped a session on Thursday and managed to work out. And then negate my entire workout with dessert at the Bellagio buffet. But...it was worth it. The end result? I'm sure I gained like 10 lbs the entire week. And I feel completely like crap after all of it.
So it's good to be home. Home-cooked meals, my bed, my routine. So this week I have to kick my own ass and get it into gear.
My plan this week? Try my best to eat as well as possible and work out daily. I did get to walk about four miles on Sunday and eat a nice dinner cooked by T. And we have our personal trainer on Wednesday and Thursday. And man, it's going to suck, but I need to get my butt kicked. I can feel it.
So that's my motivation this week: to undo the damage done from last week. What about you? You know the drill...just write a post about what's motivating you this week, leave a comment with a link to your post, and I'll link you up!
Happy Monday, everyone!
20 bucks a day?? Seriously for that kind of money they better have one heck of a set up along with an immaculately clean floor..
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need that little digression to really appreciate the butt-kicking. Have a great week! I'm linking up!

I'm officially training for a big run in February so the goal is to run 4-5 days this week. We'll see.. :-)
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't have paid that much for a crappy gym at a hotel either.. that's just crazy... Sometimes you need a little indulgence, so it's good that you enjoyed it!

Wow, what a pricey gym! Totally not worth it. I hardly ever work out on vacations, so I think it's completely understandable :) It's good to indulge sometimes ;-)
ReplyDeleteI'll link up later this week!
I know it's late, but here's my post!
